Script: phonedecode

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:

script: phonedecode

This script should take a phone number from the command line and translate it into just numbers. For example, if it is invoked as phonedecode 1-800-eat-meat, it should print 1-800-328-6328. The translation shoult follow what is found on a touch-tone phone.


3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):

This takes a file as an argument: phonedecode testphonedecode.txt
(where testphonedecode.txt contains: 1-800-eat-meat) and phonedecode contains:

Code:
(sed 's/[a-c]/2/g' | sed 's/[d-f]/3/g' | sed 's/[g-i]/4/g' |
 sed 's/[j-l]/5/g' | sed 's/[m-o]/6/g' | sed 's/[p-s]/7/g' |
 sed 's/[t-v]/8/g' | sed 's/[w-z]/9/g') < $1

But I would like to be able to write: phonedecode 1-800-eat-meat
how can I go about passing the telephone number as the argument?


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

Villanova, PA, Nadi, 8700, CSC 8700

Note: Without school/professor/course information, you will be banned if you post here! You must complete the entire template (not just parts of it).

NAME
nwbpset - Create a bindery property or set its value SYNOPSIS
nwbpset [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] DESCRIPTION
nwbpset Reads a property specification from the standard input and creates and sets the corresponding property. The format is determined by the output of 'nwbpvalues -c'. nwbpset will hopefully become an important part of the bindery management suite of ncpfs, together with As another example, look at the following command line: nwbpvalues -t 1 -o supervisor -p user_defaults -c | sed '2s/.*/ME/'| sed '3s/.*/LOGIN_CONTROL/'| nwbpset With this command, the property user_defaults of the user object 'supervisor' is copied into the property login_control of the user object 'me'. nwbpvalues -t 1 -o me -p login_control -c | sed '9s/.*/ff/'| nwbpset This command disables the user object me. Feel free to contribute other examples! nwbpset looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more information. Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons. OPTIONS
-h -h is used to print out a short help text. -S server server is the name of the server you want to use. -U user user is the user name to use for login. -P password password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwbpset prompts for a password. -n -n should be given if no password is required for the login. -C By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off this conversion by -C. AUTHORS
