    Define "regular", "special", and "on".

    Unfortunately, this sounds a lot like a homework question, which are not allowed in this forum. Therefore, I will close this thread.

    If you have a more specific question about writing this script (for instance, "How does the cut command know what the different fields are?"), we can help. But we will not do homework for you.
