Howto: Call Shell Script function In echo statement

by

You can call a shell script function within an echo statement by first defining the function in your script and then calling it as part of the echo command. Here’s an example:

#!/bin/bash

function hello {
echo "Hello, World!"
}

echo "The result of the function call is: $(hello)"

In this example, the hello function is defined and then called within the echo statement by enclosing the function call in $( ). This is called command substitution and allows you to insert the output of a command into the echo statement.

When you run this script, the following output will be displayed:

The result of the function call is: Hello, World!

This demonstrates how you can call a shell script function within an echo statement, allowing you to use the output of the function in other parts of your script.
