User have to choose 2 options: 1 to show file access of a file or 2 for his contents. For both, we have to specify file name and make sure the file exists.

For option 1 : Display in numeric and text file access like : File.txt Acess= 0741 (RWX R-- --X)

For option 2: Display the Tag "File content" + $FileName and for the next lines, content of the file with #line

questions?

I know you know what you are trying to say, but we don't have access to that. We only have access to what you have actually said, so please try to rephrase it, with more detail.

Code

echo "Choose between those 2 options:"
echo "1. Display file acces of a file"
echo "2. Display content of a file"
read choice
while !["$choice" = "1"] && !["$choice" = "2"]; do
read choice
echo "Choose between those 2 options:"
echo "1. Display file acces of a file"
echo "2. Display content of a file"
done

echo "Select file name" #must be typed
read FileName
if ["$FileNAme" exists]; then #dont know how to check if the typed file exists in current directory must check 4 this
if ["$choice" = "1"];then
#display file acess like this : File.txt Acess= 0741 (RWX R-- --X)
elif ["$choice" = "2"]; then
#display content of the file displaying line #
fi
fi

To check if a file exists you can do

Code

if[ -e "$FileName" ];
then #file found
else #file not found
fi

To display the contents of a file with line numbers you can do

Code

cat -n $FileName

I am unsure what you mean by file access though. Perhaps I am jsut an idiot and am missing something simple though...

u can see it with " ls -l" I think and its what you can modidy with "chmod" what I mean with acess is user/group/other with read/write/execute

btw trying to do a do...while loop like c language but idk how

in C++ that would be :

Code

do
{
cout << "Choose between those 2 options:" <<endl;
cout << "1. Display file acces of a file" << endl;
cout << "2. Display content of a file" << endl;
cin >> choice;
}
while (choice != 1 && choice != 2 );
