I am writing a script which will read a word and say how many vowels and consonants does the word contain. but i dont know how to traverse a string in shell scripting. if it was in C i'd have done something like this:
but i have no idea how to use for loop like that in shell.
thanks in advance
Depends which shell. Some shells have substring operators, some don't. Some have for-loops, some don't.
In bash or a new-enough ksh:
See the String Operations chart in the Advanced Bash Scripting Guide. A few of them might be bash-specific but quite a few of them are common to many Bourne shells.
This should work with any POSIX-conforming shell (assuming you are only counting upper- and lower-case a, e, i, o, and u as vowels and don't care about vowels with diacritical marks):
Hello,
I want to loop thru a vector composed of many entries as structure, which contains sequenceID and sequence.

Hi Folks
I am pretty new to unix and shellscripting.
I need help on writing logic on traversing recursively through a set of directories under a top-level folder and delete files(mostly text) which are 1 month old.
