Hi! I'm new in bash programming and I need to make an script that reads a txt file line by line (every line is like "Name;FirstLastName;SecondLastName;Sex") and has to give every student 3 random marks, its average and add a counter if they are male/female and if they passed. I've been trying with the "read while" function but i don't know how to do the script. Could anyone help or explain me how it works or how should I do this? I would be very grateful.
Post Edition: Output needs to be a new txt, not the same.
Yes, this is homework. Sorry, I did't know there are specific forums. I've benn trying the read while function but I only takes every line as a unique value, later I tried to change the IFS but it didn't work. I got no errors, but it does not get the in values correctly separated, so it won't work when I'll try to solve the 2nd part.
