They're not questions as much as "make this happen"

I think I figured out the middle question.

I'm having issues with the other two now.

PROBLEM #1:

Recall that the env command provides a list of various environment variables available to you. Two of those variables are PWD, which is your current directory, and HOME, which is your home directory. Write a script named script7.sh to test to see if you are currently in your home directory. This will be true if $PWD is equal to $HOME. Output the result.

PROBLEM #2:

Code:

#I'm given a code string of:

for word in $( cat $filename )
do
echo $word
done

I'm directed to write a script named script9.sh where, in place of $filename, you pass in a parameter of a text file’s name. This will be referenced as $1 in the script. Pass in a second parameter, a string, which will be referenced as $2. Using the for loop with cat, count the number of occurrences of the string ($2) in the file. Output the string ($2) and the number of times you found it in the file. Test this out on a few different text files to make sure it works. Include your script script9.sh as your answer to this problem.

DROP TEXT SEARCH 
TEMPLATE(7)					   SQL Commands 				      DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE(7)

NAME

       DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE - remove a text search template

SYNOPSIS

       DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE [ IF EXISTS ] name [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION

       DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE drops an existing text search template. You must be a superuser to use this command.

PARAMETERS

       IF EXISTS
	      Do not throw an error if the text search template does not exist.  A notice is issued in this case.

       name   The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing text search template.

       CASCADE
	      Automatically drop objects that depend on the text search template.

       RESTRICT
	      Refuse to drop the text search template if any objects depend on it.  This is the default.

EXAMPLES

       Remove the text search template thesaurus:

       DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE thesaurus;

       This command will not succeed if there are any existing text search dictionaries that use the template. Add CASCADE to drop such dictionar-
       ies along with the template.

COMPATIBILITY

       There is no DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE statement in the SQL standard.
