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)
