Validation
I'm kinda new in shell scripting. How do i validate an input from a user to conform to requirement. For example,
echo "Enter First Name: "
read FName
echo "Enter Date of Employment (dd/mm/yyyy): "
read DoE
If the user enters data that is alphanumeric, it accepts it. I hope i've communicated the problem well enough.
