Log file analyzer, super basic sh file
Hello!
I have a small shell project that is due next week, that I'd appreciate some help with.

task: Write a shell program that can analyze at least 2 types of log files and print them in an easily readable way. Make it so that you can switch between log file types. The two file types should be apache.log and apache.error.log.

So the input should be a log file, and the output should be it's contents printed on the terminal. The only thing this program should do is separate the words with some whitespace charaters.

I'm brand new to writing shell scripts, so I was hoping somebody could help me.
