Write a script (called q2.sh) that will take three arguments and make sure that three arguments are input. You need to check if they are files (report an error if they are a directory). Then you need to output the character count of each file and the total character count.

bash q2.sh 1.txt 2.txt 3.txt 
1.txt=23 2.txt=12 3.txt=8
Total number of characters is 43. ← Not bold: what your script might output

Solution 2

You have to write the script.
That said, for your script you need to know how to:

Detect an empty variable
Check if the file exists
Use the wc Linux command

Google is awaiting for you...

All the information you need is at bash(1): GNU Bourne-Again SHell - Linux man page[^].

The only code you get is the code YOU write.

Asking other people to do your work for you is insulting - yourself. It tells everyone you don't want to learn and that's the one skill you absolutely MUST have when working with code.

It doesn't quite work like that.
We do not do your work for you.
If you want someone to write your code, you have to pay - I suggest you go to Freelancer.com and ask there.

But be aware: you get what you pay for. Pay peanuts, get monkeys.

The idea of "development" is as the word suggests: "The systematic use of scientific and technical knowledge to meet specific objectives or requirements." BusinessDictionary.com[^]
That's not the same thing as "have a quick google and give up if I can't find exactly the right code".
So either pay someone to do it, or learn how to write it yourself. We aren't here to do it for you.
