1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
I have to read the contents of each field of a file creating user accounts.
The file will be of format :
username : student information : default shell : student ID
Eg :
again i need group them to a group, depending on the first initial of their username, in the following manner:Username Group GID A-E sce 601 F-J edu 602 K-N bus 603 O-S bio 604 T-Z math 605
3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):
i have created a file with the contents .. in such a way that , wach field is seperated by delimiters.
Now, the problem is, how should i read each field from every line.
After that i even have to know a way of determining the 1st letter of the 1st field,
so that i can send it into a case statement for deciding the group. 4. Complete Name of School (University), City (State), Country, Name of Professor, and Course Number (Link to Course):
What language? What OS? I can't read that Greek stuff.
This is a start if your ksh is in /usr/bin/ksh. It shows how to read a file and crack it into fields.
${VAR:0:1} will eval to the first letter in the VAR variable in BASH and newer versions of ksh (ksh88/pdksh is too old, which causes much consternation). Sorry for the slow answer but you ran afoul of time zones, it seems.
