Hi i have recently started learning Bash scripting to learn a new skill.

My boss has assigned me a task but i am struggling to complete it would really be thankful for some help ill put what i have so far:

Test1-bible is the directory and each chapter of the bible is a sub-directory hence i have used -r alot to go through all the sub directories. each sub- directory is a html file. the command in the brackets is what i have done so far.

the task is a follows:

write a script to.

Pull out all the lines where the word Jesus appears. ( grep -iw -r -n "jesus" test1bible)

how many time does jesus appear ( grep -r -i "jesus" test1-bible/ | wc -w)

only give me two words either side of the word "lord"

where do the words "which was profaned among the heathen" appear what file and chapter. ( grep -i -r "which was profaned among the heathen")

what is the most repeated word in the bible?

what are the top 10 words used - put them in alphabetical order- give me how many.

now eliminate common words like a, at, the etc.

Thank you
