Shell scripting is scripting that uses the Windows Script Host shell.
While the above answer may be true for Windows based systems, for Unix and Unix-like systems shell scripting is the ability to create a file of commands and to have them executed automatically, including unattended operation. It is used in the cases where one wishes to automate a process with a given series of commands to be used many times.
Shell scripting allows one to automate processes, thereby reducing errors and misspellings by putting the commands in a file and telling the system to execute the commands.
Bash shell scripting is the process of writing a series of commands in a text file that are recognized by the bash shell interpreter.
This depends widely on the actual shell environment you are using. I suggest you take a look at the YouTube videos, which cover the various scripting elements in detail.
Perl is a scripting language. It is not, however, a shell scripting language because Perl is not a shell program. A shell program is one that usually interacts with a user and provides certain user interface abilities. Perl was not designed for that purpose. You can certainly program a shell to operate in various fashions. A shell script is usually provided for redundant tasks and series of commands, unattended operation, and so forth. Perl is a "kitchen sink" of ways to interact with data, databases, networks, and so forth. It is a great language for manipulating text in various ways.
We can not perform Shell Scripting in DOS, we can do Batch programing in DOS..
You should be able to download the Unix Services for Windows, version 3.5, from Microsoft (free). There are other shell emulators that are available for Windows, which would allow you to use Unix type shell scripting without installing any additional OS. Your question about "virtual UNIX" is unclear ..
It can depend on which shell environment you are using, but what I use is: function something { # body of routine } # call the function something
The use of the "for" loop in many shell scripting languages to do what you want would be fairly confining. However, if you wanted to do that, you could, for example, do the following: for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 do echo $i done
You cannot. C++ and shell script (which shell, by the way? there are more than one) are entirely different languages.
PHP is a server-side scripting language that can be used to dynamically generate the content of web sites served up to a client. It can also be used for local shell scripting. PHPMyAdmin is a PHP based web interface for managing MySQL databases.
"Shell Script is series of command written in plain text file. Shell script is just like batch file in MS-DOS but have more power than the MS-DOS batch file."
Linux shell scripting tutorials are available as pdf files or videos where a lecturer speaks over a video of a computer console. This is where you can watch someone code in the bash environment and follow along.
Yes. CGI scripting can be done in notepad, since CGI scripting is just the scripting of normal programming languages, like Python and Perl.
