 | # Bash scripting
## String manipulation
Remove shortest from end
    ${VAR%substr}
    # e.g.
    ${FILEPATH%.*}.out   # change extension from whatever to .out
Remove longest from start
    ${VAR##substr}
    # e.g.
    ${FILEPATH##*/}      # get only file name portion
%% - longst from end, # - shortest from start
## Control flow
Loop over files
    for file in glob/*; do something $file; done
Loop over integers
    for i in `seq 10`; do echo $i; done
## Conditionals
* `-z`: is empty string
* `-n`: non-empty string
* `-f`: is regular file
* `$A == $B`: string equality, accepts globs
* `$A != $B`: string inequality
## Heredocs
    cat << EOF > file
    bla bla
    EOF
Ignoring the initial indent:
    ...
        cat <<- EOF > file
        bla bla
        EOF
    ...
Don't interpolate variables:
    cat << 'EOF' > file
    bla bla
    EOF
## Arrays
Declaring indexed arrays:
    declare -a name
Associative arrays:
    declare -A name
Assignment:
    array=([bla]=foo [ble]=bar...)
All values:
    ${array[*]} # one word, elements separated with first character of $IFS
    ${array[@]} # separate words when double quoted
All keys:
    ${!array[*]}
    ${!array[@]}
## Commandline arguments
* `$#`: number of arguments.
## Getopts example
    while getopts 'a:b:c' flag; do
      case "${flag}" in
        a) do_something $OPTARG ;;
        b) b_option=$OPTARG ;;
        c) c_flag=1 ;;
        *) error "Unexpected option ${flag}" ;;
      esac
    done
### With positional arguments
Positional arguments will have to be supplied after flag options (`command
[options] <args>`):
    shift $((OPTIND-1))
