So what i am trying to do is write a script that takes in any number of scrambeled words and unscrambles them.
I have already addressed the issues of partial matches, exits silently if there are no matches, and finds words regardless of case that they were input. but while trying to get it so that letter counts matched, so a word with two 'ss' would not get results with anything more or less than two 'ss', but i ran into an issue where my loop is dropping my last egrep when i run my eval cmd...
I cant seem to figure out why the echo shows the right command but when it evaluates the command it loses the last part?
I also am working on the need for if a word is entered with nin alpha characters and to ignore it and out put a message, and error handling so that no bash errors are thrown.
My code with debugging run to show how its dropping the last command
Ok, i fixed the last issue, i had eval evaluating the wrong string set. I still need some help with interpreting the non alpha's if someone can help.
In Bash shell - the ps -ef shows only the /bin/bash but the script name is not displayed ? Is there any way to get the script names for the process command ?
