/bin/ksh
I'm writing it in .sh
I cannot give samples of the file. But let me try to explain it roughly. If you receive your phone bill invoice/statement in the post it could be one - ten pages long showing the invoice total for example, what calls you made etc. This invoice file contains statements in free form (like in notepad) in no specific format and gets printed from there. Each invoice has a certain number of pages, so somewhere in the file it will say Page: 1 or 2 or whatever depending on the Account Number:. The other file is a comma delmited file giving details of each customer, like name, address and whether the invoice gets posted or emailed.
I need to pick up the account number from this txt file, pick up whether it gets posted or emailed and then in the invoice file count the number of pages that gets printed and posted and emailed per customer.
I know this is all confusing but basically I need to get information from a file where the data is not in a specific column or line. There is currently no manual process in place.

CHSH(1) User Commands CHSH(1)
NAME
chsh - change login shell
SYNOPSIS
chsh [options] [LOGIN]
DESCRIPTION
The chsh command changes the user login shell. This determines the name of the user's initial login command. A normal user may only change
the login shell for her own account; the superuser may change the login shell for any account.
OPTIONS
The options which apply to the chsh command are:
-h, --help
Display help message and exit.
-R, --root CHROOT_DIR
Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the CHROOT_DIR directory.
-s, --shell SHELL
The name of the user's new login shell. Setting this field to blank causes the system to select the default login shell.
If the -s option is not selected, chsh operates in an interactive fashion, prompting the user with the current login shell. Enter the new
value to change the shell, or leave the line blank to use the current one. The current shell is displayed between a pair of [ ] marks.
NOTE
The only restriction placed on the login shell is that the command name must be listed in /etc/shells, unless the invoker is the superuser,
and then any value may be added. An account with a restricted login shell may not change her login shell. For this reason, placing /bin/rsh
in /etc/shells is discouraged since accidentally changing to a restricted shell would prevent the user from ever changing her login shell
back to its original value.
FILES
/etc/passwd
User account information.
/etc/shells
List of valid login shells.
/etc/login.defs
Shadow password suite configuration.

chfn(1), login.defs(5), passwd(5).
