Q1: Read two integers from the standard input and display on the same line the integers
between them not counting the two integers you read.
For example if you read 3 12, you display
4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
#!/bin/bash
read -p "2 int: " a b
a=$((a+1))
while [ "$a" -lt "$b" ]; do
echo -n "$a "
a=$((a+1))
done
echo
Q2: Read 3 integers and display the median number
#!/bin/bash
read -p "enter 3 numbers: " a b c
#b<a<c \\ c<a<b == a
if [ "$a" -lt "$c" -a "$a" -gt "$b" ] || [ "$a" -lt "$b" -a "$a" -gt "$c" ]; then
echo $a
#a<b<c \\ c<b<a
elif [ "$b" -lt "$c" -a "$b" -gt "$a" ] || [ "$b" -lt "$a" -a "$b" -gt "$c" ]; then
echo $b
#a<c<b \\ b<c<a
elif [ "$c" -lt "$b" -a "$c" -gt "$a" ] || [ "$c" -lt "$a" -a "$c" -gt "$b" ]; then
echo $c
else
echo "Error"
fi
Q3: Write a bash script that reads from a text file (p2a.txt) Each line in the file contains either
4 or 5 integers.
Display the line where the first integer is greater than the sum of the second and third
integers.
#!/bin/bash
while read -r a b c d e; do
sum=$((b+c))
if [ "$a" -gt "$sum" ]; then
echo $a $b $c $d $e
fi
done < p2a.txt
Q4: Write a bash script that takes one command line augment (a number represents the
number of units of a product).
Then it checks a file inv.txt
example:
bash labtest1A_4.sh 45
It displays the product number and product name of any product with inventory 44, 45, or 46
#!/bin/bash
IFS=$'\t'
myinv=$1
while read -r id name price inv; do
if [ "$myinv" == "$inv" -o "$myinv" == "$((inv-1))" -o "$myinv" == "$((inv+1))" ]; then
echo $name $id
fi
done < inv.txt

Q5: Write a sed script that displays only lines that contains at least two non neighboring digits
/[0-9][^0-9]\+[0-9]/!d
// any digit 0-9 > non-digit character > \+ one or more occurrences > 0-9 > don’t delete

Q1: Write a bash script that reads a directory name. First it checks if that directory is in the
current directory, if yes it displays the number of files in that directory, otherwise it
displays “No such directory”
#!/bin/bash
read -p "enter a directory: " dir
if [ -d "$dir" ]; then
files=$(find "$dir" -type f | wc -l)
echo "In directory $dir, there are $files files"
else
echo "No such directory"
fi
Q2: Write a bash script that takes a variable number of integers as command line arguments. if
these arguments are ascending it displays “Ascending” if not, displays “NO”
#!/bin/bash
if [ $# -lt 2 ]; then
echo "enter more than 2 numbers."
exit 1
fi
prev=$1
for i in "${@:2}"; do
if [ "$prev" -gt "$i" ]; then
echo "NO"
exit 1
fi
prev=$i
done
echo "ASCENDING”
Q3: Write a bash script that reads a student name and displays a message stating if the
student has paid the tuition or not.
#!/bin/bash
read -p "enter last,first name: " name
record=$(grep -P "^${name}\t" A.txt)
sid=$(echo "$record" | cut -f2)
tuition=$(grep -P "^${sid}\t" B.txt)
st=$(echo "$tuition" | cut -f2)
if [ "$st" -eq 1 ]; then
echo "$name paid"
else
echo "$name didn't pay"
fi
Q4: Write a shell script that reads integers each integer is on a line. It adds all the integers
until it reads a negative number. After reading a negative number, it stops adding and
display the total sum.
#!/bin/bash
sum=0
while true; do
read -p "enter an integer: " a
// On this condition, end the if
if [ "$a" -lt 0 ]; then
break
fi
sum=$((sum+a))
done
echo $sum
Q5: Check arithmetic, geometric or neither sequence
#!/bin/bash
read -p "enter 3 numbers: " a b c
if [ $((b-a)) -eq $((c-b)) ]; then
echo "Arith"
elif [ "$a" -ne 0 -a "$b" -ne 0 ]; then
r1=$(echo "scale=2; (($b / $a))" | bc)
r2=$(echo "scale=2; (($c / $b))" | bc)
if [ "$r1" == "$r2" ]; then
echo "geo"
else
echo "none"
fi
else
echo "none"
fi

→ == / = : these are used for String, NOT NUMBERS
→ -eq : compare numbers

Q2: Play a guessing game with two functions: generate_random_number and play_game.
#!/bin/bash
generate_random_number(){
echo $(( (RANDOM % 100) + 1)) // generate random number
}
play_game(){
// declare the variables
local target=$(generate_random_number)
local attempts=0

// handle the exit case
if [ "$guess" == "exit" ]; then

Q3: Read 2 different .txt files (books.txt & borrowed.txt) where
Books.txt: id title author available_copies
Borrowed.txt: id borrowed copies
If available copies are less than borrowed copies, echo the book title
IFS is colon (:) here
#!/bin/bash
// step1: read the id and borrowed copies from borrowed.txt file
while IFS=: read -r id borrowed_copies; do
// step2: differentiate the asked id line from books.txt and cut the book_title and available copies
record=$(grep -P "^$id:" books.txt)
if [[ ! -z "$record" ]]; then
title=$(echo "$record" | cut -d: -f2)
available_copies=$(echo "$record" | cut -d: -f4)
// step3: compare and echo the result
if [[ "$available_copies" -lt "borrowed_copies" ]]; then
echo $title

Q4: Delete any line that doesn’t have ABABAB & replace rain with heavy rain
/ABABAB/!d // don’t delete any line with ABABAB
/rain/s/rain/heavy rain/ // find rain and change rain to heavy rain
Notes:
→ /d : Delete Matching Lines
→ /!d: Delete non-matching lines
