Switch case with fallthrough?

Question

I am looking for the correct syntax of the switch statement with fallthrough cases in Bash (ideally case-insensitive). In PHP I would program it like:

switch         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

case $VAR in
normal)
    echo "This doesn't do fallthrough"
    ;;
special)
    echo -n "This does "
    ;&
fallthrough)
    echo "fall-through"
    ;;
esac
