How can to solve this with Shell Script?
I have a file (data.txt)

Code:

Customer's Name | Email                 | Phone No.
Mr. A           | mr.a@yahoo.com        | 01701234567
Mr. B           | mr.b@gmail.com        | 01712345678
Mrs. C          | mrs.c@hotmail.com     | 01723456789
Ms. D           | ms.d@yahoo.com        | 01709876543
Mrs. E		| mrs.e@gmail.com	| 01724567890

And i want to compare a Phone No. column.
If it was started by 0170 then send them an email with content (content4VIP.txt)..

Code:

You're a VIP member. you are donate 100USD..

else send them an email with content (content4Gold.txt)..

Code:

You're a Gold member. you are donate 50USD..

I have a big problem with the programming languages..

What did you learn in class? Which resources are you using to learn shell scripting? What have you tried so far. LQ does not exist to do your homework for you but will help you when you try yourself and get stuck.

BTW, the English of what you want to mail them is bad; better "You have donated USD50."
