Thanks Frans. Thanks Franklin52.
This was really a baptism in "unary operator expected" and "integer expression expected". Finally the light came on AND it was not a train at the end of the tunnel....

Thanks Frans.
That worked just great, but my old nemesis is here: unary operator expected.
Line 14: [: -eq: unary operator expected ]
Thanks so much for your help. :-)

Hi.

Transactions :...

Thank you Malcomex999 (smile) and Frans.
But I don't see how to find the Max or Min in your examples. Did I miss something? :confused:
Many, many thanks.

Hi. I do not know how to compare numbers and need help. In my script I have to figure the MAX, MIN, & Avg. Sales amounts.
Please help me.
In the code, "transaction" is a counter.

#!/bin/bash...

I have looked everywhere.
Does bash have a money/currency format for output?

Do I have to use awk or printf?
Thank you

Many, many Thanks to all of you.

Thank you fp and Jim McNamara.

Jim, why are there two instances of::confused:

echo "enter sales price"

echo "enter sales price \c"
read sales

Again thanks...

Hi. I am receiving this error message for the highlighted line (let "total=$total+$sales").
line 11: let: total+sales:expression recursion level exceeded (error token is "total+sales")

counter=0...

I tried this, with no luck.
let counter=$counter+1
let total=$total+$sales

Thank you that did it.

Now my next problem. I enter a number, but the script is not totaling. It just outputs the number that I entered.

What did I leave out?
TIA

Hi. A shell scripting newbie here. I am trying to write a script that will create a running total of Sales, and increment a counter for each Sales entry, but when I executed the program it never...

Yes sir f is initialized to something other than 0.:)
BUT, the code is not loop like I though it would. I enter one number, the answer is given, and then it gets out of the code and goes back to the...

Morning (or evening) all.
I have some code:

Nowhere do I see "prompt" define.
How is shell reading prompt? I'm so used to writing...

I've been looking at this code too long. Maybe a fresh set of eyes can spot the:

Thanks for the explanation scottn.

I got it guys. Whew.

This is what I did:
cp -r /home/Ccccc/Ch6/source/* Ch7

used small "r" and added "*"
Thanks everyone.

If you copy a directory to another directory, shouldn't the files of the source directory be in the destination directory?

cp -R/home/Ccccc/Ch6/source Ch7

I also ran cp...

And of course I knew that also Neo.
Thanks for your help.

Do you mean something such as this?

bold=`tput smso`
offbole=`tput rmso`
read num ; echo "${bold} $num ${offbold}"

I want to bold one word in shell script. I want the value for num bold when it is inputted. My code does not bold the value. It's like its not even there.

echo -n "Please read a number"

Thank you. It works beautifully.
