Use and complete the template provided. The entire template must be completed. If you don't, your post may be deleted!

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
Generalize your sub2 script, producing a new script sub3 that will apply a substitution to any number of files given on the command line. For example
Code:
~/UnixCourse/scriptAsst/sub3 foo bar myFile1.txt myFile2.txt myFile3.txt

should apply the same substitution throughout each of the three files named there.
Give the command:

Code:
~cs252/bin/scriptAsst.pl

to complete the assignment.


2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:
Using pico for scripting in putty


3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):
My attempt at the Assignment:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
p1="$1"
shift
p2="$1"
shift

for FILE in "$@"
do 
echo $p1
echo $p2
echo "$p1" | sed -e 's/\([*.[^$]\)/\\\1/g' > temp
p1="`cat temp`"
rm temp 
echo $p1

sed "s/$p1/$p2/g" "$FILE > temp.out
mv temp.out "$FILE"
done

I noticed there was a previous thread about this, but with my code its not working and i dont know why.

The error im recieving is
Code:
sub3 produced incorrect output on test 37: /home/bnaranjo/UnixCourse/scriptAsst/sub3 'l*' 'L' '_cat.dog.dat' '/home/bnaranjo/UnixCourse/scriptAsst/../_hippo.cpp'

I appreciate any help and anybodys time for looking at it, its my last assignment
4. Complete Name of School (University), City (State), Country, Name of Professor, and Course Number (Link to Course):
Old Dominion University, Norfolk(VA), USA, Zeil, csc 252



Note: Without school/professor/course information, you will be banned if you post here! You must complete the entire template (not just parts of it).

locale::codes::script

Locale::Codes::Script(3pm)				 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				Locale::Codes::Script(3pm)

NAME

       Locale::Codes::Script - standard codes for script identification

SYNOPSIS

	  use Locale::Codes::Script;

	  $script  = code2script('phnx');		      # 'Phoenician'
	  $code    = script2code('Phoenician'); 	      # 'Phnx'
	  $code    = script2code('Phoenician',
				 LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC);	      # 115

	  @codes   = all_script_codes();
	  @scripts = all_script_names();

DESCRIPTION

       The "Locale::Codes::Script" module provides access to standards codes used for identifying scripts, such as those defined in ISO 15924.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 15924
       four-letter codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying scripts. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant
       that is automatically exported by this module.

       For example, the two are equivalent:

	  $script = code2script('phnx','alpha');
	  $script = code2script('phnx',LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA);

       The codesets currently supported are:

       alpha, LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA
	   This is a set of four-letter (capitalized) codes from ISO 15924 such as 'Phnx' for Phoenician.  It also includes additions to this set
	   included in the IANA language registry.

	   The Zxxx, Zyyy, and Zzzz codes are not used.

	   This is the default code set.

       num, LOCALE_SCRIPT_NUMERIC
	   This is a set of three-digit numeric codes from ISO 15924 such as 115 for Phoenician.

ROUTINES

       code2script ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       script2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
       script_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
       all_script_codes ( [CODESET] )
       all_script_names ( [CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Script::rename_script  ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Script::add_script  ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Script::delete_script  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Script::add_script_alias	( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
       Locale::Codes::Script::delete_script_alias  ( NAME )
       Locale::Codes::Script::rename_script_code  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Script::add_script_code_alias  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Script::delete_script_code_alias	( CODE [,CODESET] )
	   These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
