I am trying to write a shell script which will help my computer
automatically join Wi-Fi networks.
Each network needs to have an SSID (which may have spaces in it) and a
password (which may have spaces, punctuation, etc in it).
I'm trying to figure out the best way to create this.
I thought about trying to make an array or something like this where the
first 'column' would be the SSID and the 2nd column would be the
passwords
ALL_WIFI_NETWORKS=(
Home 89382ashfa
Work 0823u2j98dyumn
"Coffee House" ""
"Jenny's Wifi" 8675309
)
but then I need to be able to loop through $ALL_WIFI_NETWORKS using only
first column… something like this
for SSID in {{{The First Arg in Each Line of $ALL_WIFI_NETWORKS}}}
do
echo "foo"
done
where the part in {{{ and }}} indicates the part where I really don't
know how to do what I want to do.
It seems like there's got to be an easier / better way of doing this,
but I can't figure out what it is, other than keeping two lists/arrays,
one of the SSIDs, and one with the passwords, but that seems kludgey
because I have to ask the user (whoever uses this script besides me) to
put the SSIDs in twice.
