Moritz StrohmThe purpose of the script is to generate and execute a Makefile to convert videos for recording VHS tapes - either directly from the computer or via a DVD player.Outputting Makefile syntax is pretty easy with PHP: The toString method in the Makefile rule class only needs 5 lines of code.

Moritz StrohmI think I won't bother anymore with writing (bash) shell scripts that are longer than a few lines. I find the syntax too unintuitive and there are better programming languages like PHP that produce more readable code.In the last two hours, I translated a bash shell script with ~250 lines to a PHP CLI script. The latter is nearly 400 lines long but definetly more readable and it also has more user-friendly output.1/2<a href="https://kanoa.de/tags/Shell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Shell</a> <a href="https://kanoa.de/tags/ShellScripting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ShellScripting</a> <a href="https://kanoa.de/tags/CLI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CLI</a> <a href="https://kanoa.de/tags/PHP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PHP</a> <a href="https://kanoa.de/tags/Programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Programming</a>
