couple of hints:

wrap the code in [ code ] and [ /code ] tags ( without spaces ) so that indentation and stuff
is not lost when posting.

Your "tr" commands need to look like this:

tr "[stuff]" "-"

You must have double quotes around that first argument.

However, this really isn't the problem. The problem is the design.
You need to exchange hyphens for correct letters -- not the other way around.

For this, you will need a much more sophisticated logic for exchanging
correct letters for hyphens.

I recommend commenting out all the "clear" lines.

Then running the thing through bash using:

bash -xvf hangman

Hopefully your screen emulator has a scroll bar and you can watch what
commands get executed.

Good luck.

verify_krb5_conf

VERIFY_KRB5_CONF(8)					    BSD System Manager's Manual 				       VERIFY_KRB5_CONF(8)

NAME

     verify_krb5_conf -- checks krb5.conf for obvious errors

SYNOPSIS

     verify_krb5_conf [config-file]

DESCRIPTION

     verify_krb5_conf reads the configuration file krb5.conf, or the file given on the command line, parses it, checking verifying that the syntax
     is not correctly wrong.

     If the file is syntactically correct, verify_krb5_conf tries to verify that the contents of the file is of relevant nature.

ENVIRONMENT

     KRB5_CONFIG points to the configuration file to read.

FILES

     /etc/krb5.conf  Kerberos 5 configuration file

DIAGNOSTICS

     Possible output from verify_krb5_conf include:

     <path>: failed to parse <something> as size/time/number/boolean
	     Usually means that <something> is misspelled, or that it contains weird characters. The parsing done by verify_krb5_conf is more
	     strict than the one performed by libkrb5, so strings that work in real life might be reported as bad.

     <path>: host not found (<hostname>)
	     Means that <path> is supposed to point to a host, but it can't be recognised as one.

     <path>: unknown or wrong type
	     Means that <path> is either a string when it should be a list, vice versa, or just that verify_krb5_conf is confused.

     <path>: unknown entry
	     Means that <string> is not known by verify_krb5_conf.

SEE ALSO

     krb5.conf(5)

BUGS

     Since each application can put almost anything in the config file, it's hard to come up with a watertight verification process. Most of the
     default settings are sanity checked, but this does not mean that every problem is discovered, or that everything that is reported as a possi-
     ble problem actually is one. This tool should thus be used with some care.

     It should warn about obsolete data, or bad practice, but currently doesn't.
