scripts for dummies
í have no idea how to write a script. can someone help? how would i write a script that will do the following commands
mkdir temp
cp * temp
cd temp
ls
i want to be able to do a set of commands by typing in only one command. i´m a windows user that is trying to learn unix, finally :P so i´m familiar with the dos way where we simply just create a file that ends with a .bat so a temp.bat is the script where we simply type in temp to run it. i´m not sure how unix works so please explain as if telling a newbie...heehee. and do i have to somehow make the script file executable, if so then how?
thanks,
and if its you answering my questions again, andy...thanks alot! i can´t do the bash stuff u told me before cuz i just changed my shell to bash and it says it will take about 3hrs to change it. once its done then i will test out what u said. thx man...

TMPFILE(3) 1 TMPFILE(3)
tmpfile - Creates a temporary file
SYNOPSIS
resource tmpfile (void )
DESCRIPTION
Creates a temporary file with a unique name in read-write (w+) mode and returns a file handle .
The file is automatically removed when closed (for example, by calling fclose(3), or when there are no remaining references to the file
handle returned by tmpfile(3)), or when the script ends.
For details, consult your system documentation on the tmpfile(3) function, as well as the stdio.h header file.
RETURN VALUES
Returns a file handle, similar to the one returned by fopen(3), for the new file or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
tmpfile(3) example
<?php
$temp = tmpfile();
fwrite($temp, "writing to tempfile");
fseek($temp, 0);
echo fread($temp, 1024);
fclose($temp); // this removes the file
?>
The above example will output:
writing to tempfile
