Looking for help with parsing file contents in bash [newbie]
Hi
I'm just messing around with bash and trying to learn it because I have a course next semester dealing with OS design where we need to know how to use SSH client and either bash or ksh. I've never done shell scripting before.
I just started today and I was wondering how parsing files works. I'm looking at this guide (unstable.blogspot.com/2010/04/simple-bash-script-to-parse-log-file.html *sorry for that but it says i can't post url cuz im new here)but I had a few questions.
unstable.blogspot.com/2010/04/simple-bash-script-to-parse-log-file.html
How do I set the directory so it finds that file? I keep getting "can't open log.txt"
I know its a nooby questiong sorry.
