Creating a simple bash script that asks the user for a destination filename

Asked by Simon336697 in Bourne-Again Shell (bash), Perl Programming Language

Hi guys, hope u r well and can help.

I want to create a simple bash script that does the following..

When run, eg. newfile.sh,

1) Prompts the user for a destination filename
2) Does a cp of a file located in /templates/ of /templates/menu2_x_x.php
3) Copies the file to /new/
with the new file being what the user has typed in at the prompt.

So, the sequence is:

#newfile.sh
[Please Enter new filename] <Script Prompt>

menu2_it_test.php <User Entered>

--------------------------
Result is:

New file created in /new as
/new/menu2_it_test.php

which is a copy of /templates/menu2_x_x.php

Any help greatly appreciated.

Id like to do this in a bash script and not with perl if that is okay :>) Thank you.Start Free Trial
