Need help in manupulating string
Hi,
I am new to Unix.I got an assignment as follows.
Wanted to know the procedure to convert a string 12345 to 1234E and 21342 to 2134B and so on. I mean to say the last digit should be converted to the corresponding alphabet.
Thank you in advance.
Regards

pbmupc(1) General Commands Manual pbmupc(1)
NAME
pbmupc - create a Universal Product Code bitmap
SYNOPSIS
pbmupc [-s1|-s2] type manufac product
DESCRIPTION
Generates a Universal Product Code symbol. The three arguments are: a one digit product type, a five digit manufacturer code, and a five
digit product code. For example, "0 72890 00011" is the code for Heineken.
As presently configured, pbmupc produces a bitmap 230 bits wide and 175 bits high. The size can be altered by changing the defines at the
beginning of the program, or by running the output through pnmenlarge or pnmscale.
OPTIONS
The -s1 and -s2 flags select the style of UPC to generate. The default, -s1, looks more or less like this:
||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||
0||12345||67890||5
The other style, -s2, puts the product type digit higher up, and doesn't display the checksum digit:
||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||
0||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||
||12345||67890||
