I can test for one parameter but anything more then that and I get an Error.

I forgot I run this batch in a shell
#!/bin/sh
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Write a batch program that accepts a keyword as a parameter and finds all the files containing that keyword. Display the lines found and the number of hits.

Adjust the batch program to accept 1, 2 or 3 parameters.

If 1 parameter exists, we may assume we are looking for the word supplied.

If 2 parameters exist, we are looking for files having both keywords.


(this is harder)
If 3 parameters exist, test the second one for the values
and
or
-v
and search accordingly. These are the only values accepted as the second parameter when 3 parameters are present.



Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Hmm. Homework, huh? Please read the forum rules about homework.

I am not asking for anyone to do this for me just some help with passing the parameters.

this is how I am testing them.
if test $#=3
then
Grep Command
elif test $#=2
then
Grep Command
elif test $#=1
then
Grep Command.
else echo no parameter was inputted.

Yes it is for homework But I have seen many input questions in a way to mask that it is their homework. I came right out and posted it without trying to hide the fact that it is for my homework.
All I am doing is asking for direction nothing more.

I just noticed that we cannot post this.

I am sorry

Mod please lock this thread, as I was unaware I could not ask for direction with my homework.

Sorry Again
James
