something like
| code: |
#!/bin/bash

Any mac users out there know how to write a script that will automatically run through the terminal on a mac? Similar to a batch file on Windows. I need it to execute when you click the icon, so no need to type into the terminal (working on a program in Perl, I want the script to navigate to the correct folder, then execute the perl script. ex.
I need that code to be executed in the terminal. |
