1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:

Problem 1:

I need to create a shell script the takes three arguments and echo's out "There once was a ____that____who like to_____"
The arguments go where the blanks are.



Problemt 2:

-Do an LS and store the listings in a file

-Open the file in emacs.

-create a macro that converts that single line to the command "mv file.txt file.dat"

-run the macro over the entire file.

-chmod +x the listing file

-run the file as a script.





2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:

For problem one my instructor provides me with this example:

echo -n "some argument"

echo $1

how I've been reading it is like a C++ code

cout << "Some argument"

cin >> argurment

3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):

For problem 1 I've tried it many different ways, this is my latest attempt:

echo -n "There once was a "
echo $1
echo -n "that "
echo $2
echo -n "who liked to "
echo $3
echo -n "There once was a " $1 " that " $2 " who liked to " $3

I believe my teacher wants the echo to be just on one line. I dont want the code given to me, I'm really just hoping someone can show me what I'm doing wrong so I can correctly do it. There is a part b to this question and if I understand what I'm doing wrong in part a im positive I can do part b.

For problem 2 I've run an ls and moved all .txt files to a new file called change. From there I created a macro that searched for all .txt and replaced them with .dat. I'm having a hard time understanding how to mv this data to replace the old .txt files in the directory I copied them from.
