How do I paste multi-line bash codes into terminal and run it all at once?
Try putting \ at the end of each line before copying it.
Example:
echo "Hello world" && \
script_b.sh
echo $?
The exit code ($?) is now the full sequence of commands, and not just the last command.
I'm really surprised this answer isn't offered here, I was in search of a solution to this question and I think this is the easiest approach, and more flexible/forgiving...
If you'd like to paste multiple lines from a website/text editor/etc., into bash, regardless of whether it's commands per line or a function or entire script... simply start with a ( and end with a ) and Enter, like in the following example:
If I had the following blob
function hello {
echo Hello!
}
hello
You can paste and verify in a terminal using bash by:
Starting with
(Pasting your text, and pressing Enter (to make it pretty)... or not
Ending with a
)and pressing Enter
Example:
imac:~ home$ ( function hello {
> echo Hello!
> }
> hello
> )
Hello!
imac:~ home$
The pasted text automatically gets continued with a prepending > for each line. I've tested with multiple lines with commands per line, functions and entire scripts. Hope this helps others save some time!
