Bump again.

I need some help here.

How can you expect anyone to help you? So far...

1. You have failed to answer all of the questions posed concerning your assignment? For example, where does (do) the company address(es) come from?

2. You have not really indicated if this is for a homework assignment;

3. The code you presented contradicts some of the requirements (ie. those related to the hash marks) indicated in your opening post.

The assignment you have is really trivial; almost sounds like a class exercise. Thus I hope your BS skills are up to par and you can entertain us when you attempt to answer item 2 above.

Here's another hint:

You need to read each line from the file.

This is probably why the OP deleted his posts.

.

copy this to your gedit and save it your home folder as the name "wtf":

#!/bin/bash
# This is a bash script
firefox http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash
echo " Note to self....Google is my friend"
ext 0

Now right click the file in your home folder and set the permission to "allow this to run as a program"
OR... in your terminal type chmod +x wtf

in your terminal type:

./wtf

enjoy

I pretty sure the point has been made. There is no need to rub it in.

I wish to voice curiosity on behalf of everyone who might come by this thread who didn't the original question (now edited out), as to what it was and how it was solved.
(I saw the original question and could probably have managed something in C or BASIC that accomplished the task)

Hi
Please will somebody write me a bash script to run in Ubuntu.
This is the requirement:-

I have a text file containing a list of names. The number of entries isn't known, it will vary from day to day.
I want to generate another text file containing a reader-friendly report.

The name of the original file is foo1.txt.
The name of the generated file is to be foo2.txt.

The top line of the report is to be a heading Clients.
Then there will be 2 spare lines containing # symbols.

Then there will be a list of clients' names.
In front of each name will be his title Mr.
Following each name will be the letter P to show that he's paid his bill.

At the bottom of the list will be 2 more spare lines containing # symbols.
Then there will be 3 lines of text showing the company's mailing address.

For example:-

foo1.txt

Quote:
Smith
Jones
Harris
Brown
foo2.txt

Quote:
Clients
#
#
Mr Smith P
Mr Jones P
Mr Harris P
Mr Brown P
