("You are trying to run before you can walk.")
I was unsure whether to post this but decided to so in the end...

Look at your error report(s)...

Your code says "bunny", you say it is "Bunny". Which is it?

More to the point WHERE is it?

Either change the full path to point to it directly or ensure it is in the
your current drawer that this code is looking at...
Also ensure you have the needed permissions to access it.

I also quoted the code as being _old_style_ bash scripting so as to hopefully
give you some insight and to search the WWW for what each line might
be doing and for you to greatly improve on it.

Also it will only work for lines 10 - 19, if you want 20 - pseudo_infinity
then have a go at working it out for yourself; it does get difficult but you'll
learn a lot quickly by mistakes and finding out how to correct them.

Yes it can be improved considerably and there are some seriously clever
guys on here capable of doing it...

There are also different methods too but my method was purely to
demonstrate that it can be done the way I originally stated in my pseudo_code
post...

I, (an amateur), and my professional _cousins_ on here, cannot possibly
be a tutorial class. There are many tutorials to be found on the WWW including
this site to help you and the Admin have prepared all the "man" pages too...
