ASCII comma-delimited
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:
Hi Guys,
I am new on the scripting world and would like ask for help if you can.
Here are my questions below.
1) What Unix commmand(s) would you put in a shell script to read an ASCII comma-delimited input file and validate that field 5 only contains numeric characters?
2) What Unix command(s) would you use from the command line to find all files underneath a given path that have duplicate lines of data?
2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:
Perl, awk, cut, uniq
3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):
Tried this command to tell you honestly I am not sure if this is the right command.
1. sed -e 's/^/| /' -e 's/,/,| /g' -e 's/$/,|/' inputfile | column -t -s,
2 . find . -type f -name '*f*' | sed -r 's|/[^/]+$||' |sort |uniq
4. Complete Name of School (University), City (State), Country, Name of Professor, and Course Number (Link to Course):
This is a work related question some how like a personal research. I was inform by Don Cragun to go here
Note: Without school/professor/course information, you will be banned if you post here! You must complete the entire template (not just parts of it).

DEBCONF-MERGETEMPLATE(1) Debconf DEBCONF-MERGETEMPLATE(1) NAME
debconf-mergetemplate - merge together multiple debconf template files SYNOPSIS
debconf-mergetemplate [options] [templates.ll ...] templates DESCRIPTION
Note: This utility is deprecated. You should switch to using po-debconf's po2debconf program. This program is useful if you have multiple debconf templates files which you want to merge together into one big file. All the specified files will be read in, merged, and output to standard output. This can be especially useful if you are dealing with translated template files. In this case, you might have your main template file, plus several other files provided by the translators. These files will have translated fields in them, and maybe the translators left in the english versions of the fields they translated, for their reference. So, you want to merge together all the translated templates files with your main templates file. Any fields that are unique to the translated files need to be added in to the correct templates, but any fields they have in common should be superseded by the fields in the main file (which might be more up-to-date). This program handles that case properly, just list each of the translated templates files, and then your main templates file last. OPTIONS
--outdated Merge in even outdated translations. The default is to drop them with a warning message. --drop-old-templates If a translation has an entire template that is not in the master file (and thus is probably an old template), drop that entire template. SEE ALSO
