i'm a self-learning new UNIX user
i'm writing my 3rd UNIX script in my life...
but i found myself fall into syndex errors...
this script is use for seperate file from a ftp server...
i need to cut it small into 1000 lines each
with keeping the first and last line of the original file in each new file
All the Files in xyz12345.txt with cuts into xyz2345a.txt , xyz2345b.txt ...etc
the line number will be rearranged from 001,...999.

Code:

#! /bin/ksh
for filename in *
do
	nline=wc -l $filename
	if [$nline -gt 1000] 
	then
		headLine= `head -1 $filename`
		tailLine= `tail -1 $filename`
		endCode= `abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz`
		counter= 1
		countLine= 2
		# For initialization before the first running of the while loop
		newFileName=`echo $filename| cut -c1-3,5-8``echo $endCode | cut -c$counter``echo $filename| cut -c9-12`
		echo $headLine > $newFileName
		
		while [$countLine -le $nline]
		do
			newFileName=`echo $filename| cut -c1-3,5-8``echo $endCode | cut -c$counter``echo $filename| cut -c9-12`
		
			typeset -Z3 headVar=0 ## no typeset in SCO?!
			echo ${headVar} 
			headVar=`expr $headVar + 1` 
			echo $headVar`head -$countLine filename | tail -1 | cut -c4- ` >> newFileName
			newFileNoLine= wc -l newFileName
			if [$newFileNoLine -eq 999] 
			then
				echo $tailLine >> newFileName
				counter=`expr $counter +1`
				headVar= 1
			fi
		done
	fi
done

hope ano can point out my mistakes and my misunderstanding. BIG THANKS

letterize

LETTERIZE(1)							    Miscellanea 						      LETTERIZE(1)

NAME

       letterize_ - phone-number to letter-mnemonic generator

SYNOPSIS

       letterize nnnnnnn

DESCRIPTION

       This program tries to help you find a letter mnemonic matching a given phone number.

       It emits to standard output each possible pronounceable mnemonic, one per line, using the American standard mapping of dial letters to
       numbers (2 goes to ABC, 3 to DEF, 4 to GHI, 5 to JKL, 6 to MNO, 7 to PRS, 8 to TUV, 9 to XYZ).

       The program uses a table of pronounceable letter-triples derived from a dictionary scan. Each potential mnemonic must be such that all of
       its letter-triples are in the table to be emitted. About 30% of possible triples are considered pronounceable.

       A typical 7-digit phone number has 19,683 possible mnemonics, but this test usually cuts the list down to a few hundred or so, a reasonable
       number to eyeball-check. For some numbers, the list will, sadly, be empty.

       It's best to leave out punctuation such as dashes and parens.

BUGS

       The filtering method doesn't know what plausible medial triples are not reasonable at the beginnings and ends of words.

       I'm not sure what table position 0 (which is what 0 and 1 are mapped to) means. If you figure it out, you tell me. I really should have
       generated my own table, but that would have been more work than this seemed worth -- if your number contains either, you probably need to
       generate your mnemonic in disjoint pieces around the digits anyway.
