Quiz1

Note: Please remember that this quiz is designed to be completed in 30
minutes. You will see a similar question on your exams, so please make
sure you are prepared to complete this question on time.
Your script must accomplish the following tasks:
1. Your script should read in a number of command line arguments
a. The first argument is a file name, say fn.
b. The second argument is a keyword, say k.
c. Remaining arguments are a list of numbers separated by a space.
2. Once you get the numbers, you must find the maximum number in that list
of numbers given.
3. Now that you have the maximum number, say n, you must find the nth
occurrence of the keyword (k, given as the second argument) in the file
(fn, the first argument) and print out that line number.
Example: If the command line argument is as follows:
>./quiz1.sh file1.txt unix 2 14 1 5 8 10 12 11 15 9 2
file1.txt contains:
1: unix
2: unix unix
3: unix unix unix
4: unix unix unix unix
5: unix unix unix unix unix
6: unix unix unix unix unix unix
7: unix unix unix unix unix unix unix
Your output should be "6" since the 15th occurrence of the word "unix" is
in line 6.
