So if i got that straight the first one i wrote was something that csh would be able to run?
The assignment does no say it has to be sh or csh but I have to ask for and the parameter, check to see if that is a directory and then see how many directories their are, files with read permission, files with write permission and files with execute permissions are.
when I try and put the other if statement to see if it was a directory it says to many arguments
if [ "$#" ! -d]
also I did this
same error

I'm not very proficient with c-shell. It looks like something from csh, though.
If you're not sure whether you're supposed to be learning csh or sh, you better find out fast, since they're nothing alike. Hopefully sh, since csh is to be avoided.

I would always reccomend sh over csh.

You made a syntax error there: -d] should be -d ] because as explained above, the brackets must have spaces between them and everything else.
I'm not sure why you're using $# there or what you're expecting it to do; $# is a special variable which means 'the number of arguments'. If you want the first argument, that's $1. $2 is the second, etc.
Note the double-quotes around $1. This will prevent $1 from splitting into multiple strings if it happens to have a space in it.
I fixed the second if statement to read
but all directories parameters say it is not a directory.
after i save the file and input in to the command line
sh assignment4.sh public_html or sh assignment4.sh COP3353-temp which are all directories ---------- Post updated at 02:59 PM ---------- Previous update was at 02:55 PM ----------
ok i fixed the one one problem with passing in the paramater for the folder i was already in. but not the home directory
