Hey everyone, Im really new in Linux and I need some help on same basic programming in shell scripts. First, Im trying to take a text file name as an argument then display the name of the file, how many lines it has, and how many characters it has. Im a little familiar with the wc and cut commands and I was told to use them but I cant seem to get them to work. Can anyone here help me or at least direct me in the right direction? Thanks a lot!
Thats kinda the problem, there is so much information im having trouble narrowing it down to the specific information I need. But thanks anyways!
shell scripting can be done a gazillion ways; in conjunction with google use the 'man' pages ie 'man cut', 'man wc' etc. scripting can be as easy or as difficult as you choose to make it, if i can do it, anyone can
you use Linux and you don't know ?. that is odd... ps your signature pic is too tall, An image-only signature should be less than 50kb in size, and be at most 500 pixels wide and 200 pixels tall.
