Homework and Emergencies Homework & Coursework Questions Help with shell scrip syntax errors Post 302983703 by RudiC on Saturday 15th of October 2016 09:01:38 AM

Hello Demas, welcome to unix.com!

In your school data the course number is missing. Please complete.

Please be aware that supplying sample data like channels.txt and registrations.txt usually helps, as does posting the syntax error messages.
On first sight, I see the following:
- missing double semicolons on a few of the cases.
- << opens a "here document", the syntax (and logics) for which you do not follow. It seems you would need an output redirection in those places.
- grep et al. don't need cat - they usually read the input files by themselves.

NAME
afSetVirtualByteOrder, afSetVirtualChannels, afSetVirtualPCMMapping, afSetVirtualSampleFormat - set the virtual data format for a track in an audio file SYNOPSIS
#include <audiofile.h> int afSetVirtualByteOrder (AFfilehandle file, int track, int byteOrder); int afSetVirtualChannels (AFfilehandle file, int track, int channels); int afSetVirtualSampleFormat (AFfilehandle file, int track, int sampleFormat, int sampleWidth); int afSetVirtualPCMMapping (AFfilehandle file, int track, double slope, double intercept, double minclip, double maxclip); PARAMETERS
o file is an AFfilehandle which refers to an open audio file and is usually created by afOpenFile. o track is an integer which identifies a particular track in an open audio file. The only valid track is AF_DEFAULT_TRACK for all currently supported file formats. o sampleFormat is an integer which denotes a virtual sample format. Valid values are AF_SAMPFMT_TWOSCOMP, AF_SAMPFMT_UNSIGNED, AF_SAMPFMT_FLOAT, and AF_SAMPFMT_DOUBLE. o sampleWidth is a positive integer which specifies the number of bits in a sample. o channels is a positive integer which specifies the number of interleaved audio channels in the given audio track. o byteOrder is an integer which specifies the virtual byte order of samples in the given audio track. byteOrder can be either AF_BYTEORDER_BIGENDIAN or AF_BYTEORDER_LITTLEENDIAN. o slope and intercept are double-precision floating point values which indicate the audio data sample slope and zero-crossing value, respectively, for the given sample format. o minclip and maxclip are double-precision floating point values which indicates the minimum or maximum sample values to be returned. Any values less than minclip will be set to minclip, and any values greater than maxclip will be set to maxclip. RETURN VALUE
These functions return 0 for success and -1 for failure. AUTHOR
