Bourne Shell Scripting

Post by Twilkitri »

Is anyone here proficient at Bourne Shell scripting? Because I'm trying to get a script to work and it's p***ing me off (due to it not working properly).

What problem are you having with the script. I'm not an expert, but I happen to use a Bourne shell frequentley and know quite a bit.

I figured out the problem... I forgot to escape an apostrophe in an echo statement.
Thus the script happily echoed the entire program until the next apostrophe >< .
