Bash M1## how to use the P word was created by my1987toyota
So I have been trying to write an M1## code and using the P word to determine which instruction
to follow. I have written M1## codes to facilitate what feeder to trigger in combination with ClassicLadder.
The current code uses the " #!/bin/bash " and the " case " command.
if I put in the " echo " command before each halcmd . and it will list the commands when I run it in terminal.
but if I remove the " echo " command and run it in linuxcnc it wont send anything to linuxcnc but no error messages
appear either .
I am by no means any kind of expert in bash scripting and I hope I am missing something simple .
So I am looking for some idea what to look into here .

Did you make it executable?
Does the file name use a lower case M?

Upper case works for me. Usually it‘s the executable part. And it need to be in the right folder. And executable and in the folder before LinuxCNC starts. But then it works fine

I am sure it will come down to my usual problem of inexperience .
I am still very new to coding C, C++, Python , Bash ect. I wish
their were more examples of Bash in Linuxcnc to draw from.
I think my problem stems from the fact that I am not sending a number to
a command I am using the P number to select a " case "
and that determines what part of the M code to run. That in turn
tells ClassicLadder what input and output pins to actuate .

It's from the timestamp for logfiles, still in use.
When M150 P100 is called, somehow the case statement is matching only, when testing 100 as 100.000000

There was a change in LinuxCNC a while ago, i think all the former integers are now float. To change this you need to work with float in bash or convert. You can do this in the Goode or in bash.
