    The main point of this forum is to help people with their scripting and programming situations, not do do the work for them. The main reason for this is that it's fun for us to point out what a person might be doing wrong, because spending a few minutes correcting someone's error or informing someone on a specific point pays huge dividends in the recipient's understanding.

    But actually doing the scripting or programming work for someone isn't as rewarding; we have our own work to do. :) So since you'll need to learn shell scripting anyway, the best way is to dive into the documentation, read it, try things out, and ask us questions when something doesn't behave the way you expect.

    This is why gerard4143 wanted to see the work you've done so far. When you've read the documentation and done some work, maybe you'll find the answer to the problem yourself. If that's not the case, then come back with specific questions about the behavior of bash (the shell which most likely will interpret and execute the script you write).

    Does this seem reasonable?
