please help me create a phonebook using shell scripting. the program can create contacts, delete and modify,add user, can detect errors, have general syntax so that the help manual of the program will not appear..

i have created some codes but i dont think it is right... whew!

If you have a specific script you need help on, I'd post it and tell us where you're having problems.

Authors Kochan & Wood as part of their "Unix Shell Programming" book created a suite of scripts called 'rolodex' which added, deleted, and removed entries from an ASCII file. I'd pick up a copy of this book. Here's a link at amazon.com:

thanks for the reply.. maybe tomorow i would be able to make the scripts and be able to get some comments from you..... huhuhuhu.. it is due on the ist week...

thanks for all nails!!!

that's it... before anything else we would make general syntax commands not of the UNIx commands.. we will use -s for displaying, -d for deleting, -m make contacts, -e for editing, and -l modifying..
a menu of commands will appear...

thanks for the help... i was able to make the other scripts...
