  2. how can i make a script that will take me to a web page from unix?

if anyone could help it would be appreciated very much.

What are you writing these scripts in? What shell?
(What OS too)

Post anything you may have started and the problems you are having.

Even i am very new to scripting so i am not very sure of some advance regular expressions. So i am giving the basic shell script

 
count=0
for i in  $(cat location of file)
do
if [ $i == name ]; #name which you want to find from the given file
then
count=`expr $count + 1`
fi
done
echo $count
