simple script main loop case switch

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

Hi,

looking for a script framework that reads and validates supplied args.

example, makefile:

make clean,
make all,
make build jar man depot

can't have
make all build ..
etc..

Thanks,
Bill

One perl possibility:

perl -nle '
CHECK: {
/^make build$/ and do {last CHECK};
/^make clean$/ and do {last CHECK};
/^make build( jar| man| depot)*$/ and do {last CHECK};
print "Error on $_";
}' txt

A little bit cleaner...

perl -nle '
next if /^make build$/;
next if /^make clean$/;
next if /^make build( jar| man| depot)*$/;
print "Error on $_";
' txt

with your args in the "txt" file. Still have to write all of the REs by hand...
