it has been over 2 months since my first try i think. going through the book manually over and over, I had many mistypes which force me to start over. Therefore, I put them in a script so i can avoid mistypes. Yes i do agree the script is way too long , however, alot of the lines is about tell me where i am At and what is going on in a way i can understand and each chapter is in a separate function. if you cut the unnecessary echo's lines you will end up with a script that has less than 200 lines.
