Is this a homework question? If it isn't what is the "real world problem" of your question and what have you done to attempt to solve this problem yourself?
Post your sample script, and we'll see how we can assist.

Hello,

Please correct me if i am wrong,

#! /bin/bash

FILE1="$1"
FILE2="$2"
FILE3="$3"

sed 's/[0-9]//g' $FILE1 > $FILE2
sed 's/[a-zA-Z]//g' $FILE1 > $FILE3

This is the script where filenames are fetched from command prompt.

Regards
S.Kamakshi
