I am under a deadline to edit an index for a book. As of right now I am
editing the index by hand, then going into ms-word and making all of the
corrections. an example of the index would be:
Abarca Puma, Nicanor, 473
Academica Nacional del Tango. 264-65
Flutes, Bone, 120
Bolivia, 12, 139-40
Now, I have a list of pages that have been deleted for the book, i.e.
92-117, 245, 350-475 . . .
Would it be possible to create some sort of bash program that would find
each number and compare them to the list? If the number matches a number on
the delted page list, then the script would delete it. I guess this would
be possible, but then the only problem would be those pages that are
continuous ie.264-65. Somehow, the program would have to identify it as
264,265.
Would anyone know how I could go about creating a shell script that could do
all of this. I really an just beginning to use linux and program, so i
don't know that much, and this deadline is fast approaching..
any response would be helpful
thanks, John
