Q2. Use the Linux Commands to match each situation:

1. All three character filenames:

ls ???

2. Filenames containing 'a' or 'b' or 'c':

ls *[abc]*

3. Filenames beginning with a particular string (e.g., 'file'):

ls file*
4. Filenames beginning with 'ca' and ending with two digits:

ls ca[0-9][0-9]

5. Filenames beginning with 's' and having 'a' somewhere:

ls s*[a]*

Q3. Shell script to find Factorial of a number

#!/bin/bash

read -p "Enter a number: " num

fact=1

for (( i=1; i<=num; i++ )); do

fact=$((fact * i))

done

echo "Factorial of $num is $fact"

Q4. Shell script to calculate Fibonacci series

#!/bin/bash

read -p "Enter number of terms: " n

a=0; b=1

echo "Fibonacci series:"

for (( i=0; i<n; i++ )); do

echo -n "$a "

fn=$((a + b))

a=$b; b=$fn

done

echo

Q5. Shell script to find the greatest of three numbers

#!/bin/bash

read -p "Enter three numbers: " a b c

if (( a>=b && a>=c )); then

max=$a

elif (( b>=a && b>=c )); then

max=$b
else

max=$c

fi

echo "Greatest is $max"

Q6. Shell script that displays lines between given line numbers

#!/bin/bash

file=$1; start=$2; end=$3

sed -n "${start},${end}p" "$file"

Q7. Shell script to list files with r, w, x permissions

#!/bin/bash

echo "Files with read, write, and execute permissions:"

for f in *; do

if [[ -f $f && -r $f && -w $f && -x $f ]]; then

echo "$f"

fi

done

Q8. Redirect stdin and stdout so scanf() reads from pipe and printf() writes into pipe

Example using unnamed pipe:

echo "input_data" | ./consumer_program > output.txt

Example using named pipe:

mkfifo mypipe

echo "input_data" > mypipe &

./consumer_program < mypipe

Q9. Script to check even or odd (run in Vim with :!bash)

#!/bin/bash

read -p "Enter a number: " num

if (( num % 2 == 0 )); then

echo "Even"

else
echo "Odd"

fi

In Vim: :!bash even_odd.sh

Q10. Script to print multiplication tables between two numbers

#!/bin/bash

read -p "Enter start number: " start

read -p "Enter end number: " end

for (( i=start; i<=end; i++ )); do

echo "Table of $i:"

for (( j=1; j<=10; j++ )); do

echo "$i x $j = $((i*j))"

done

echo

done

In Vim: :!bash multiply.sh

Q11. Script to search a string and display it using shell programming

#!/bin/bash

read -p "Enter filename: " file

read -p "Enter search string: " str

grep -n "$str" "$file"

In Vim: :!bash search_string.sh
