Use and complete the template provided. The entire template must be completed. If you don't, your post may be deleted!

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:

Insert a reference to the Bourne shell as the command interpreter of this shell script called valid_name.
Add the appropriate comments
Test that exactly one command line argruments is enter from the command line. If not, display the usage message and stop the script and set the status to 1. If exactly one is entered, continue processing.
The argument enter on the command line is a first and last name ( for example: "John Smith").
If the argument is a validly formatted name, you display The "name enter" is valid to standard out.
If the argument is not a validly formated name, you display The "name enter" is not valid to standard out
Cut and Paste you program in the space below also with a session of you executing your program with the examples provided

For Example,
$ valid_name "John Smith"
John Smith is valid
=========
$ valid_name "John smith"
John smith is not valid
=========
$ valid_name "John"
John is not valid
==========
$ valid_name "jOhn Smith"
jOhn Smith is not valid
===========
$ valid_name "John sMith"
John sMith is not valid

2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:

3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):
#!/bin/sh

if echo $var | grep '^[A-Za-z_][A-Za-_z]*$' > /dev/null
then
echo $var "is valid"
else
echo $var "is not valid"
fi

4. Complete Name of School (University), City (State), Country, Name of Professor, and Course Number (Link to Course):

rdf::vcard::line

RDF::vCard::Line(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				     RDF::vCard::Line(3pm)

NAME

       RDF::vCard::Line - represents a line within a vCard

DESCRIPTION

       Instances of this class correspond to lines within vCards, though they could potentially be used as basis for other RFC 2425-based formats
       such as iCalendar.

   Constructor
       o   "new(%options)"

	   Returns a new RDF::vCard::Line object.

	   The only options worth worrying about are: property (case-insensitive property name), value (arrayref or single string value),
	   type_parameters (hashref of property-related parameters).

	   RDF::vCard::Entity overloads stringification, so you can do the following:

	     my $line = RDF::vCard::Line->new(
	       property        => 'email',
	       value	       => 'joe@example.net',
	       type_parameters => { type=>['PREF','INTERNET'] },
	       );
	     print "$line
" if $line =~ /internet/i;

   Methods
       o   "to_string()"

	   Formats the line according to RFC 2425 and RFC 2426.

       o   "add_to_model($model, $node)"

	   Given an RDF::Trine::Model and an RDF::Trine::Node representing the entity (i.e. vcard) that this line belongs to, adds triples to the
	   model for this line.

       o   "property()"

	   Returns the line's property - e.g. "EMAIL".

       o   "property_node()"

	   Returns the line's property as an RDF::Trine::Node that can be used as an RDF predicate. Returns undef if a sensible URI cannot be
	   found.

       o   "property_order()"

	   Returns a string which can be used to sort a list of lines into a sensible order.

       o   "value()"

	   Returns an arrayref for the value. Each item in the arrayref could be a plain scalar, or an arrayref of scalars. For example the
	   arrayref representing this name:

	     N:Smith;John;Edward,James

	   which is the vCard representation of somebody with surname Smith, given name John and additional names (middle names) Edward and James,
	   might be represented with the following "value" arrayref:

	     [
	       'Smith',
	       'John',
	       ['Edward', 'James'],
	     ]

	   or maybe:

	     [
	       ['Smith'],
	       'John',
	       ['Edward', 'James'],
	     ]

	   That's why it's sometimes useful to have a normalised version of it...

       o   "nvalue()"

	   Returns a normalised version of the arrayref for the value. It will always be an arrayref of arrayrefs. For example:

	     [
	       ['Smith'],
	       ['John'],
	       ['Edward', 'James'],
	     ]

       o   "value_node()"

	   Returns the line's value as an RDF::Trine::Node that can be used as an RDF object. For some complex properties (e.g. ADR, GEO, ORG, N,
	   etc) the result is not especially useful.

       o   "value_to_string()"

	   Formats the line value according to RFC 2425 and RFC 2426.

       o   "type_parameters()"

	   Returns the type_parameters hashref. Here be monsters (kinda).
