- The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
STEP 1: Create a Bash shell script (myscript) inside the a2 directory. The script should allow the user to pass a 3 digit number to this script when it runs. Make sure that the parameter/argument entered by the user consists of exactly 3 numbers. If it�s not 3 numbers, then give an appropriate error message and exit with appropriate exit status. If the parameter entered was a 3 digit number, then display it.
This script should create a subdirectory called �numbers� inside the a2 directory. If that directory already exists, it should delete the existing one and create a new one.
The script should check the numbers and determine whether they are unique. For example, if the numbers passed to this script are 123, the script should create file1, file2 and file3 (inside the �numbers� directory). If last 3 digits are 121, then create file1 and file2. Your script should now list the files you have created.
- Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:
STEP 2: The script should now check for the existence of the �products� file in a2 directory. If it does not find that file, it should give an error message and exit. If the file does exist, it should display the contents of the file. Then it should cut the 2nd field (product name) from each line of the file (hint: use the cut command and use comma as the delimiter to pick the 2nd field). Capture the product names that are being cut into a separate file �names�. Then display the contents of this file �names�. Now the script should use the appropriate command to count the number of lines in the �names� file and display a message indicating how many products there are in the products file. For example, if you had 6 products in your products file, this message should say �I have 6 products in my product file� by using the number it obtained from counting the lines.
- The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):
#!/bin/bash
input=$1
first=${input:0:1}
second=${input:0:1}
third=${input:2:1}
echo -n "Please enter 3 digits:"
if ! [[ $1 =~ ^[0-9][0-9][0-9]$ ]]; then
echo "PLEASE ENTER 3 DIGITS!"
fi
