Hi:

This is asked here repeatedly. A search of this forum for "script" might help. That said, look at:

http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90046/index.html

http://www.shelldorado.com/scripts/

The above deal with shell scripts which is where you should probably start. Avoid the C-shell and concentrate on the Posix or Korn shell. The C-chell is wholly dysfunctional.

Regards!

A must have for those starting off with scripting as you'll be utilizing tools such as SED.

SED Handy one liners
http://sed.sourceforge.net/sed1line.txt

Also there's an O'Reilly book on Sed/Awk which is good.

Also there's a Classic shell Scripting book by them too:
