Bash Case statement Fall through only if subsequent pattern(s) match
Example
4.0
Since Bash 4.0, another operator ;;& was introduced which also provides fall through only if the patterns in subsequent case statement(s), if any, match.
#!/bin/bash
var=abc
case $var in
a*)
echo "Antartica"
;;&
xyz)
echo "Brazil"
;;&
*b*)
echo "Cat"
;;&
esac
Outputs:
Antartica
Cat
In the below example, the abc matches both first and third case but not the second case. So, second case is not executed.
