I am practicing making my own functions in bash for an upcoming exam. For this example, I want to print out a message and maybe add two numbers. What I would do then is:
This would be run using an input file, that would contain such example information:
print hello
2 + 3
So, since "print" isn't how you print in UNIX, I would need to somehow transform this into echo. I could use sed to go through the file and replace every instance of "print" with echo, correct?
For 2 + 3, I am having some issues figuring this out. I don't know the order of the file that I will be inputting, for example, it could be:
So I cannot hardcode field values using bc! I have to make my code be able to roll with the punches, I guess. Is there a way I can insert bc at the beginning of each line, or is that even the way it should be done?

-t print timestamp, us
-v print time, string
-Z print zone ID
-n name
process name to track

time, string
ZONE zone ID
PROJ project ID
UID user ID
PID process ID
PPID parent process ID

bose descriptions explaining the output.
