The task is to write a bash script to output a random word from a dictionary whose length is equal to the number supplied as the first command line argument.
I tried to use awk command but it wasn’t help full. I am not able to pass argument in that.
>Solution :
I am also doing this activity and I create one simple solution.
I create the script.
#!/bin/bash
awk "NR==$1 {print}" /usr/share/dict/words
Here if you want a random string then you have to run the script as per the below command from the terminal.
./test.sh $RANDOM
If you want the print any specific number string then you can run as per the below command from the terminal.
./test.sh 123
