Homework & Coursework Questions

In your original script (which was passing many more of the tests), you had:

Code:

        sed "s/$p1/$p2/g" "$p3" > temp.out
        mv temp.out "$p3"

Now you have:

Code:

        sed "s/$p1/$p2/g" $FILE > temp.out
        mv temp.out $FILE

Other than changing p3 to FILE, what else changed?

Did you notice that the error reports you got included:

Code:

sed: can't read _king: No such file or directory
sed: can't read cobra.dat: No such file or directory
mv: target `cobra.dat' is not a directory
        and
sub3 produced incorrect output on test 33: /home/cbliss/UnixCourse/scriptAsst/sub3 'Unix' 'U N I X' '_king cobra.dat' '_ne$wt.foo'

Do you see that the diagnostic messages from sed and mv refer to parts of one of the parameters passed to your script? Could changing quotes around arguments passed to sed and mv have an effect leading to the errors you're seeing?

Thank you ^_^ problem solved and assignment passed. Again, thank you. You were very helpful.

With the title having changed to have [SOLVED] in it, I would suggest that you open a new one and refer to this.
