extension Function default parameter

[quentin_lamamy]

Hi,

In my extension i am trying to set default parameters, i try this but doesn't work

"MYFUNC")

  if [ -z $5]; then
  	$5=${1:-"foo"}
  fi

  # HERE DO SOMETHING COOL

;;

But it don't work, I'm sure it's possible but i'm not very familiar with bash, i'm a backend developer not an admin sys ^^

Is it calling the function that is the issue, or the execution of the function itself? Snippets without the full context is not that optimal to try to help and troubleshoot.

it's part of an extension, i want, when $5 argument not set to replace it by a default value

It seems on Discord as if you got your answers

[quentin_lamamy]

I did not ask on discord for this issue but i can. But i don't want to ask more than 20 question a day on discord XD

ok, I read that you got the last brick of your extension in that discussion, but that was perhaps something else then

nop it's just an improvment, it works with empty var but it not so powerfull than default value

And i have 2 extension at 99%, a discord exfiltration , and a osx extension with lot of system features

Discord exfiltration still have some issue, variable scope, escaping. Even with Korben explaination , i'm still a bit lost. What a hell ^^

But the basic usage, exfiltrate text and file works, just want to finish cosmetics with discord embed message feature
