Input modepressaori Operation Mode Command modepressESC Organization of VI There are two modes of operation in VI: • Command mode: where you tell the editor what you want it to do. • Text input mode: the part of the editor where you inter material (text, data, or program code) . a : insert after the current position(cursor position). i : insert before the current position(cursor position).

  4. To change the current position(move the cursor): in the command mode use the arrow in the keyboard ↑↓ → ←

  5. Vi Text Editor keys:self study ) ) Delete • x delete current character • X delete previous character(backspace) • dwdelete word forward • dddelete complete line • d0 delete from cursor to beginning of line • D$delete to the end of the line

  6. Vi Text Editor keys: Ctrl+gShow file name Save and quit

  8. Shell script • What is Shell Script “Shell Script is series of command written in plain text file. “ • Why to Write Shell Script? • Shell script can take input from user, file and output them on screen. • Useful to create our own commands. • Save lots of time. • To automate some task of day today life. • System Administration part can be also automated.

(2) User defined variables (UDV) - Created and maintained by user. This type of variable defined in lower letters. • How to define and print User Defined Variables: Syntax to define UDV variable name = value Syntax to print or access value of UDV $variablename Example: - To define variable called 'vech' having value Bus and print contains of variable 'vech' - To define variable called n having value 10 and print contains of variable ‘n'
