hello Im trying to run a script but it doesn't work.
this is the exercise:
Create an executable script file called �newname� that will perform the followings:
- Rename a file upon the user's request. If the file exists, prompt the user for confirmation before renaming the file. The screen should prompt the user for
a. �Name of file you want to rename.� Use the �\c� escape character.
b. �New name of file� Use the �\c� escape character.
c. �File Exist� to avoid overriding a file.
d. �File $oldname changed to $newname�
e. �Do you want to rename another file?� If the user selects �yes� the system should refresh the screen and if the user selects �no� the system should exit to the prompt sign.
f. Refresh the screen to go back to the menu until the user selects the exit option
this is what I did! but I have some message error at the line 22 and 23! can someone helps me?
#!/bin/sh
