I'm trying to create a shell script that checks a directory to see if a certain name exists. For example, if I had a directory with several names like:
Bobby Smith bobs
Jacky Jones jackyj
Mike Williams mikew
I want to create a shell script that returns a full name(e.g. Bobby Smith) with an id(e.g. bobs) specified in the command line argument.
An example execution would be:
$ ./findName.sh bobs
Bobby Smith
$
Could someone please help me with this....i'm new to shell scripting but understand how C++ works. Any help is greatly appreciated.
