That's not a shell, that's a shell *script*. The "shell" is the
program that executes it (in this case, /bin/sh). So I don't know
what you're trying to do when you say you want to 'script" the above.
If you save those lines exactly as-is to a file somewhere, and turn on
execute permission on that file (via chmod +x /path/to/the/file), then
you can run it from AppleScript with something like this:
do shell script "/path/to/the/file " & quoted form of valueForDollar1
& " " & quoted form of valueForDollar2 & " " & quoted form of
valueForDollar3 & " " & quoted form of valueForDollar4
If your goal is to get the equivalent of running that shellscript
without having to store it in a file first, well, I'd recommend
translating the program to AppleScript using as few shell commands as
possible, and then run those with individual "do shell script"?
To go back to the original question: does this not work as intended?
do shell script "some command " & return & "some other command"
If not, you can always use a semicolon instead, as Michell suggested.
Although there are minor differences between semicolon and newline in
delimiting shell commands, they're unlikely to come up.
