HW1 - A shell script

Due 10/07!

Make me a program that tells me how many words in /usr/share/dict/words have two letters that I specify

$ sh word_count.sh a b
There are 44798 words that have 'a' and 'b'

To start:

• What commands will you need?
• What are $1 and $2 in word_count.sh?
• Think about this problem in terms of stdin/stdout
• I don’t care how you get it done so long as it works!

Some details

Try our script out on a few different inputs, not just ‘a’ and ‘b’ (it should work on parts of words, too, not just single letters).

What to turn in

• Turn in the file word_count.sh to Gradescope
