Are you capable of doing anything yourself? You can't take the hints given to you and form a completed answer from them? You want us to do it all?. You realize I know very little about bash scripting? Every answer I gave you I simply googled the key terms you used in each reply. Are you incapable of doing that?

If you are then I refuse to help you anymore. I would rather you fail, flunk, and drop this major. I don't want any more shitty programmer's in the workforce.

Code

abduct@insomnia:~/Desktop/shellcode# pwd | awk '{ n=split($0,pwd_array,"/"); for(i=2;i<=n;i++) { if(i==n) { printf "%s", toupper(pwd_array[i]) } else { printf "%s->", toupper(pwd_array[i]) } } }'
ABDUCT->DESKTOP->SHELLCODE
abduct@insomnia:~/Desktop/shellcode#

If your awk version allows it, there is a join() method that will take an array and concat it with a spacer for you instead of looping through the array yourself. You should really just be googling this shit... it is comon sense if you have any brains at all.
