HI there,
i am also new to bash scripting but i think it should look something like this
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
#Create a file test.txt in lab1 directory
cd /??/<path to lab1>
touch text.txt
#if file exists, Inform user, Delete existing file, Create new file
if [ -f text.txt ]
then echo "File Exists"
rm text.txt
touch text.txt
fi
#change permissions of text.txt, Display exit status
chmod 755 text.txt
echo $?
#Display contents of lab1
ls
exit 0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope it helps/works let me know :)
