UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hello evelibertine,

It depends on your search path for where commands/programs/scripts are. There is a variable $PATH that holdds this. If you don't feel comfortable adjusting this, then a quick way round it is (assuming that you wrote the script in the current location) to just use:

Code:

./myscript inputfile.txt > outputfile.txt

This says to execute the one in the current location. If it fails with an error that it cannot execute or permission denied type thingy, then:

Code:

chmod 755 myscript

.... and try again.

Let us know how you get on.

test.txt is your input file

maybe you can try saving your file in .sh extension then try to execute with sh
