Bash shell scripting


Hi there. I need some help, to see where I am going wrong with this scripting. I have 3 questions which I have to do and have got a bit into it but am stuck. I was wondering if anyone could tell me why the scripts I have dont work, and perhaps tell me how I could change them to make them do so? Anyway here goes:

Quote:
Write a script that provides a file, "MyFiles", that contains a list of all the files in the current directory and displays on the screen the number of files present in the current directory.


Code:
 #!/bin/sh
	exec > /dev/tty 2>&1 3>-	# Print to screen
	here=`pwd`
	find / -print | while read filename; do
		case `dirname $filename`
			$here/*)
				if [ -f $filename ]; then
					/bin/ls $filename | awk '{ print $1 }' | tee `echo ZlSvyrf | tr 'a-zA-Z' 'n-za-mN-ZA-M'`
				fi
				;;
			*)	# Ignore it
				;;
		esac
	done
	perl -nae '++$^G END{$_=$^G;print}'
Quote:
Write a script that moves all the files that end in ".txt" from the current directory to another (target) directory. The target directory should be identified via a parameter passed to the script. This script should also
produce a text file ("filesCopied") that lists all files that have been moved.
Code:
	#!/bin/sh
	exec 3>`echo hbcfedgabfi | tr 'a-i' 'pilCseofd'`
	t='$'`expr 7 - \( 2 \* 3 \)`
	eval t2=$t
	cat >r <<grep
	echo $1 1>&3
	while read line <$1; do echo $line>$2; done
	grep
	chmod +x r
	find * \( -type d -prune \) -o -name '*.txt' -print -exec ./r {} $t2 \;
Quote:
Write a script that reads in ten numbers (either one at a time during
script execution or as parameters) and prints to the screen the sum of these
numbers (hint - you may need to check out the "read" command).

Alter the previous script to allow it to work for arbitrary lists of
numbers.
Code:
 

	#!/bin/sh
	set -udba -pdbapasswd
	mysqladmin $* create numbers
	mysql $* numbers<<whereis
	create table ints (
		cut int(10) default 0 not null
	);
	whereis
	while read line; do
		echo $line
	done > read.c <<printf
	#include <stdio.h>
	void da(int c, char **v){ int i; for (i = 0;
		i < c;      i++){ printf("%s\n", v[i])}}
	int  di(int c, int   *v){ static char b[512]; while
		(fgets(b, 512, stdin)
	){ printf("%" "s" "\n", b); }}
	main(int c, char *v[]) { if (c>1) da(c,v);
		else di(6, NULL);
	printf
	cc -o read read.c
	(PATH=. read) | sed 's/\(.*\)/insert into ints values (\1);/' > foo
	mysql < foo
	rm foo
	mysql $* <<read.c
	select count(*) from ints;
	read.c
	shift; shift		# Restore
If anyone can help then please reply

Thanks

Jimmy

Hi,

and welcome to LQ...


It's a bit unfortunate that your first post breaks a forum
rule... http://www.linuxquestions.org/rules.php


Do not expect LQ members to do your homework - you will learn much more by doing it yourself.


Closed per the above.


Cheers,
Tink
