Title of Micro Project: Shell script program to copy contents of one file to another.

1.0 Brief Introduction

. In this micro project we have to developed a shell script program to perform operations on
file such as copying contents of one file to another file, removing file from the directory,
moving the file using Unix commands.

2.0 Aim of the Micro-Project (in about 4 to 5 sentences)

This Micro-Project aims at:
1. Designing a shell script program.
2. Understanding the concepts shell script programming.
3. Using basic concepts to perform operations on file

3.0 Course Outcomes Integrated

1. Install Linux operating system
2. Evaluate the basic Linux command and its utilities.
3. Develop shell program for solving different problems.

4.0 Actual Procedure Followed

Firstly, we discussed and decided the topic. Then installed the Linux operating system and created a
logic for program. After that we implemented a logic and created a program.

Theory:

1) case…esac statement:

The basic syntax of the case...esac statement is to give an expression to evaluate and
to execute several different statements based on the value of the expression.
The interpreter checks each case against the value of the expression until a match is
found. If nothing matches, a default condition will be used.

Syntax:
case word in
pattern1)
Statement(s) to be executed if pattern1 matches
;;
pattern2)
Statement(s) to be executed if pattern2 matches
;;
pattern3)
Statement(s) to be executed if pattern3 matches
;;
*)
Default condition to be executed
;;
Esac

Here the string word is compared against every pattern until a match is found. The
statement(s) following the matching pattern executes. If no matches are found, the
case statement exits without performing any action.
There is no maximum number of patterns, but the minimum is one.

8
When statement(s) part executes, the command ;; indicates that the program flow
should jump to the end of the entire case statement. This is similar to break in the C
programming language.

2) if...else...fi

The if...else...fi statement is the next form of control statement that allows Shell to
execute statements in a controlled way and make the right choice.

Syntax:

if [ expression ]
then
Statement(s) to be executed if expression is true
else
Statement(s) to be executed if expression is not true
fi

The Shell expression is evaluated in the above syntax. If the resulting value is true,
given statement(s) are executed. If the expression is false, then else block statement
will be executed.

3) copy contents of file to another file.

To copy files and directories, the cp command is used under a Linux, UNIX-like,
and BSD like operating systems. cp is the command entered in a Unix and Linux
shell to copy a file from one place to another. The original file remains unchanged,
and the new file may have the same or a different name.

Syntax:
cp source_file_name dest_file_name

4) Moving a file

9
To move files, use the mv command, which is similar to the cp command, except
that with mv the file is physically moved from one place to another, instead of being
duplicated, as with cp.

Syntax:
mv source_file dest_file

5) Removing a file

To remove (or delete) a file in Linux from the command line, use either the rm
(remove) or unlink command.
The unlink command allows you to remove only a single file, while with rm you
can remove multiple files at once.

Syntax:
rm file_name

10
Program:

#! \bin\sh
echo "1. To copy contents of file"
echo "2. To remove a File"
echo "3. To move a file"
echo "4. Quit"
echo "Enter your choice"
read choice
case "$choice" in
1) echo "Enter a file name to copy contents:"
read file
echo "Enter a another file name:"
read file1
if [-f $file]
then
cp $file $file1
echo "Contents of $file are copied successfully to $file1"
else
echo "$file does not exist"
fi;;
2) echo "Enter a file name to be removed: "
read file
if [-f $file]
then
rm -i $file
echo "$file successfully removed"
else
echo "$file does not exist"
fi;;
3) echo "Enter a 1st file name: "
read file

11
echo "Enter a 2nd file name: "
read file1
if [-f $file]
then
mv $file $file1
echo "Contents of $file are moved to $file1"
else
echo "$file does not exist"
fi;;
4) echo "Exit"
exit ;;
esac
:wq

Output:

Conclusion: Thus, we successfully executed a project of Shell script program to
copy contents of one file to another file.
