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):

apt-extracttemplates

APT-EXTRACTTEMPLATE(1)							APT						    APT-EXTRACTTEMPLATE(1)

NAME

       apt-extracttemplates - Utility to extract DebConf config and templates from Debian packages

SYNOPSIS

       apt-extracttemplates [-hv] [-t=temporary directory] file...

DESCRIPTION

       apt-extracttemplates will take one or more Debian package files as input and write out (to a temporary directory) all associated config
       scripts and template files. For each passed in package that contains config scripts and templates, one line of output will be generated in
       the format:

       package version template-file config-script

       template-file and config-script are written to the temporary directory specified by the -t or --tempdir (APT::ExtractTemplates::TempDir)
       directory, with filenames of the form package.template.XXXX and package.config.XXXX

OPTIONS

       All command line options may be set using the configuration file, the descriptions indicate the configuration option to set. For boolean
       options you can override the config file by using something like -f-,--no-f, -f=no or several other variations.

       -t, --tempdir
	   Temporary directory in which to write extracted debconf template files and config scripts. Configuration Item:
	   APT::ExtractTemplates::TempDir

       -h, --help
	   Show a short usage summary.

       -v, --version
	   Show the program version.

       -c, --config-file
	   Configuration File; Specify a configuration file to use. The program will read the default configuration file and then this
	   configuration file. If configuration settings need to be set before the default configuration files are parsed specify a file with the
	   APT_CONFIG environment variable. See apt.conf(5) for syntax information.

       -o, --option
	   Set a Configuration Option; This will set an arbitrary configuration option. The syntax is -o Foo::Bar=bar.	-o and --option can be
	   used multiple times to set different options.

SEE ALSO

       apt.conf(5)

DIAGNOSTICS

       apt-extracttemplates returns zero on normal operation, decimal 100 on error.
