If and Loops
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:
In this script you will take a directory as input from the user and change the end of line sequence from a Unix EOL sequence to a DOS style EOL sequence for each file with a ".txt" file extension in the given directory.
Create a script that will take input from the user to get a valid directory. Validations must be performed on the input and must be loop driven and only allow exit on a valid response.
Make the script loop over the directory and on all files ending in ".txt" change the end of line sequence to a DOS style end of line sequence.
This script must use, at a minimum, one if statement and one loop.


2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:



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



4. Complete Name of School (University), City (State), Country, Name of Professor, and Course Number (Link to Course):Victor Valley College, Victorville, Ca, USA CIS90 Professor Thomas
