I have a question….
How can I copy /paste a text in mcedit ? I’m trying to copy the text for the while.sh in mcedit, the text with the while loop . I don’t know what keyboard keys I should use, it doesn’t work with CTRL +C/CTRL+V .

Thanks for any answer!!! Sorry to disturb you buy what I found on google did not work for me.

Have a nice day!

Next week I’ll show you two major control flow components of bash: the if command and the while loops. (And they are even more important, as we are gonna use the same logic later in Python and R as well!) Update: here’s the new episode! […]

hey Elliott,

thanks for the question!
“Using Bash to just making Python scripts” –» I guess you mean creating Python scripts, then automate them from the command line (eg. with crontab), or maybe call them from other scripts. Yes, it’s possible and I guess many people do that. Though I’d not suggest to limit yourself to Python. Sometimes SQL is better, sometimes bash is better, sometimes R is better for the given task… So I’d consider to learn all of them a bit, because – you know – if you have a hammer everything looks like a nail… but sometimes it’s better to have a screwdriver and a drilling machine as well! 😉

Cheers,
Tomi

I have a question though. How would you compare using bash to just making python scripts?
