\n\u2022\tBASH is much easier to set a prompt that displays the current directory. To do the same in Kornshell is hackish.
\n\u2022\tKornshell has associative arrays and BASH doesn’t. Now, the last time I used Associative arrays was… Let me think… Never.
\n\u2022\tKornshell handles loop syntax a bit better. You can usually set a value in a Kornshell loop and have it available after the loop.
\n\u2022\tBash handles getting exit codes from pipes in a cleaner way.
\n\u2022\tKornshell has the print command which is way better than the echo command.
\n\u2022\tBash has tab completions. In older versions
\n\u2022\tKornshell has the r history command that allows me to quickly rerun older commands.
\n\u2022\tKornshell has the syntax cd old new which replaces old with new in your directory and CDs over there. It’s convenient when you have are in a directory called \/foo\/bar\/barfoo\/one\/bar\/bar\/foo\/bar and you need to cd to \/foo\/bar\/barfoo\/two\/bar\/bar\/foo\/bar In Kornshell, you can simply do cd one two and be done with it. In BASH, you’d have to cd ..\/..\/..\/..\/..\/two\/bar\/bar\/foo\/bar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
