Interactive script to give user option of what text to add
Hello all,
I have created a script that will remove the first two lines of one text file (body.txt) and then add the text from a different text file (header.txt) directly to the beginning of the freshly modified body.txt file. It is as follows:
I want to add the option to this script of letting the user choose which header to add. Let us say that there are four possible headers that one could add i.e. head1.txt, head2.txt, head3.txt and head4.txt and that these files are all located in /home/$USER/.
How would I go about modifying my script in such a way to so that the user would be prompted to chose one of these i.e., when they run the script, they get and must choose either the number 1, 2, 3 or 4.
Once the user has chosen the number, then the script runs and uses the one that they chose, rather than the specific one I have in my file. I would also like it if the only values the numbers 1 through 4 would be accepted.
Hi All,
How can i give permission for a specific user ( eg. admin ) ?
I tried with chmod admin+r prog.sh
which doesnt work.
Is there any way i can specify a user's name and give the permission?
Thanks in advance.

Q. Write a script that behaves both in interactive and non interactive mode. When no arguments are supplied it picks up each C program from the directory and prints first 10 lines.
It then prompts for deletion of the file.
If user supplies arguments with the script , then it works on those files... (1 Reply)

pdbtxt2html(1) General Commands Manual pdbtxt2html(1)NAME
pdbtxt2html - Doc Text to HTML converter for Palm Pilots
SYNOPSIS
pdbtxt2html [ -t ] file.txt [ file.html ]
pdbtxt2html -v
DESCRIPTION
pdbtxt2html converts text converted from a Doc(4) file via txt2pdbdoc(1) to HTML. If no HTML filename is given, the generated HTML is sent
to standard output.
Document Title
The first line of the file is used for the HTML document title.
Bookmarks
The last line of the file is examined and, if it contains a string enclosed between < and >, that is taken to be the bookmark marker. The
entire file is then scanned looking for lines beginning with it (ignoring leading whitespace). These lines are converted to HTML headings.
The number of whitespace characters after the first bookmark marker is used for heading level 1. The level of subsequent headings is set
to the number of whitespace characters between the bookmark marker and the bookmark text minus the number for the first bookmark plus one.
Embedded URLs
Valid URLs (according to RFC 1630) embedded in the text are turned into hyperlinks. The ftp, gopher, http, https, mailto, news, telnet,
and wais URLs are recognized.
OPTIONS -t Compile a table of contents and insert it between the first heading and the body.
-v Print the version number to standard output and exit.
EXAMPLE
To convert a Doc file to HTML:
txt2pdbdoc alice.pdb alice.txt
pdbtxt2html alice.txt alice.html
