I am working on writing scripts. Here is a script I need help with. I have also wrote what I think it is. I would really appreciate any help that I can get.


Create an executable script file called "newname" that will perform the followings:
1. Rename a file upon the user’s request. If the file exists, prompt the user for confirmation before renaming the file. The screen should prompt the user for
a. "Name of file you want to rename." Use the "\c" escape character.
b. "New name of file" Use the "\c" escape character.
c. "File Exist" to avoid overriding a file.
d. "File $oldname changed to $newname"
e. "Do you want to rename another file?" If the user selects "yes" the system should refresh the screen and if the user selects "no" the system should exit to the prompt sign.
f. Refresh the screen to go back to the menu until the user selects the exit option

This is what I wrote

rm -i
Read a file to rename
If file do not exist
Then
Rename the file
If file do exist
Then
Ask "Do you want to ovveride file?"
Read the user's choice (y/n)
If the answer is yes (y)
Rename the file
If the answer is no (n)
Display "File Exist"
Refresh the screen
(b)Exit
