Desprately Need Help
Hi I am new to the forum and I am in need of some major help. For my unix class I have to create a Bourne shell script that:
1. Prompts the user for three items:
a file name pattern
a date in the form mm dd yyyy and
a flag (1 = newer, 2 = older, 3 = same as)
2. List all files in the current directory that
match the pattern and
are newer (or older or same) as the the given date.
The code below is as far as I have gotten.
.................................................................................................... .....
#! usr/bin/sh
echo Please enter a search pattern
read search
echo Please enter a month in the form of mm
read month
echo Please enter a day in the form of dd
read day
echo Please enter a year in the form of yyyy
read year
echo Please enter a flag
echo enter 1 for newer than
echo enter 2 for older than
echo enter 3 for same as
read flag
exec $search > /tmp/jsharloc
.................................................................................................... ..
After I get past part 1 I am lost.
I have been working on this for several hours and I am getting no where if there is someone that could help me out with the code I would greatly appreciate it.
