Welcome
flash123. Can I ask:-
- What have you tried so far?
- What's your logic so far?
- What Operating System and version are you working on?
- What language/tools would you prefer to write it?
Most importantly,
- what have you tried so far?
Consider that a script is collection of commands that are either in sequence, in a loop or a condition. Build you logic, reduce it to smaller and smaller steps then work out how to complete each step.
Show us how far you get and where you are stuck and you might get some assistance to help you along. It is better for you to learn than to get a fully working solution to use/show.
