the following code does.....
- accepts a document (text), scans through it word for word,
- finds out if the current word is in the stoplist
- if it exists, ignore word, otherwise write it to a file w/ same
- basename as original file.
Problem: the if [ "$word" = "\*" ]; then block cant recognize a single '*'
that occurs in the document. i want the code to be able to ignore '*'
characters occurring by themselves, i.e. surrounded by whitespaces..
When this code is run with a text file, it completely ignores the test for '*'
chars, and continues to the other if block and echoes '*' to the outfile.
the result of echoing '*' prints all the filenames in the current directory
in the outfile.
something is definitely wrong with testing for the '*'..... help guys! Thanks a bunch!
