[13:28] <genupulas> duanedesign, whats the way to create simple .bin files ?
[13:29] <genupulas> I mean i want a bin file which can print "hi" when a execute that
[13:32] <geirha> What's a .bin file?
[13:33] <genupulas> its a binary file.
[13:34] <geirha> Ok, so you want a compiled binary executable that says hi when you run it?
[13:34] <geirha> Then you likely want to write it in C or C++
[13:35] <genupulas> any language
[13:37] <geirha> If you're thinking of install.bin etc which you find for obscure software packages, those are not necessarily binary, they're just badly named
[13:38] <geirha> If you want a script, you just create a new text file and put in the two lines:  #!/bin/bash  and  echo hi
[13:38] <genupulas> geirha,  sir I am just trying to made one for me
[13:39] <geirha> genupulas: Sure, just trying to figure out what you want exactly
[13:40] <genupulas> geirha, thank you sir.
[13:41] <geirha> Anyway, save that file as e.g. "myscript", then make it executable by running   chmod +x myscript    lastly you can run it with   ./myscript
[13:41] <genupulas> so does it give back in .bin format ?
[13:42] <geirha> no, there's not really any ".bin format"
[13:43] <genupulas> some files do exist in .bin format. for example our Java software .
[13:43] <geirha> by .bin then, do you mean filenames that end with ".bin", or...?
[13:45] <genupulas> I want to create one , something like hello.bin and when I execute that It should provide me some output like "hi"
[13:46] <geirha> then you should save it as "hello", not "hello.bin"
[13:46] <geirha> ".bin" at the end of a filename bears absolutely no meaning, so you might as well just omit it.
[13:49] <genupulas> geirha,  one min sir I will give you some link.
[14:09] <geirha> Anyway, to learn writing bash scripts, I recommend http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide
[14:10] <geirha> There are many other guides and tutorials on bash out there, but in general they're unfortunately mostly garbage. It's best to stick to the resources in /topic #bash if you want to avoid bugs.
