Question

I need help to complete this assignment please guide me.

So here is the assignment (UNIX Shell programming) :

Create an office telephone directory file containing three columns of the last name, first name, and phone number of at least 20 individuals. Then create a shell program that accepts either one (last name) or two (last name and first name) arguments. Check to ensure that one or two arguments are on the command line. If there is only one argument, display a message informing the user that more than one entry might be returned from the phone book. Exit the program if there are less than one or more than two arguments.

After checking on the arguments, display a prompt asking what phone book directory file to search. Test to ensure that the entry is a valid regular file that is not zero bytes in length. If not a regular file, exit the program with an appropriate message to the user on the screen. Then check to see that there are three columns in the file. If there are not three columns, display a message indicating that the file does not contain a configuration consistent with a phone book and exit the program with an appropriate message displayed on the screen.

Third, display a menu in the shell program that allows adding (A) an entry to the phone book, deleting (D) an entry from the phone book, modifying (M) an entry in the phone book, displaying (I) an entry in the phone book, displaying (P) all entries in the phone book in sorted order, or exiting (X) the program. For adding, deleting, or modifying an entry, add additional code that checks the
