hmmm, .....

First off, i doubt that this is a good usage of sed. It is generally better to work with shell built-ins and to an amazing extent this is possible once you think about it.

Sorry, my bad. I meant first and third "while-loop", not "line".

As far as your revised code goes there are still some loops not written properly. I have marked the places below:


Code:
#!/bin/bash #INSERT DO ARGUMENT HERE???
     2 
     3 #Read tabc.txt #INSERT DO ARGUMENT HERE???
     4 tabc="cat tabc.txt"
     5 
     6 #Make week 7 assignment directory
     7 wk7dir=~/"wk7dir"
     8 
     9 #Prevents duplicates and errors
    10 if [ ! -d $wk7dir ]; then
    11      mkdir $wk7dir
    12 fi
    13 
    14 #Assign appropriate variables from tabc.txt
    15 $tabc | sed -e '<statement>' |\
    16 while read fileuser filesize filedate filename ; do
    17         $tabc | sed -e '<statement>' |\
    18         sed 's/://'|\
    19         while read filetime; do
    20 
    21              #Change filesize
    22              dd if=/dev/zero of=$wk7dir/$filename bs=$filesize count=1
    23 
    24              #Create files based on date and filename
    25              touch -d $filedate $wk7dir/$filename
    26 
    27              #Changes file permissions to allow read, write, and execute to all users
    28              find ~/"wk7dir" -type f -exec chmod 755 {} \;
    29 
    30              ls -lR --time-style="+%Y%m%d" "wk7dir" |\
    31              sed -e '<statement>' |\
    32              while read filedatestamp ; do
    33 
    34                      #Modify file time
    35                      touch -mt $filedatestamp$filetime $wk7dir/$filename
    36 
    37              done
    38      done
    39 done


I hope this helps.
