Any idea why I$\text{'}$m outputting extra blank lines at line $2$ and $4.$ I've included my code down below

#$!/$bin$/$bash

echo "Dingo Truffle"

echo "Lab $3-$Failed Login Report"

echo $"$CS $3030-$ Scripting Languages"

if $["$$#$"-$ne $1]$; then

echo "Usage: flog LOGFILE"

exit $1$

fi

LOGFILE$="$$$1"$

# Search for failed password attemps of any kind using grep

grep 'Failed password for $\text{'}"$$LOGFILE" $>$ s$1$out

# Extract the name of the user who failed to supply the proper pasword including invalid users

sed $-$n $\text{'}$s$/.*$Failed password for $\backslash ([$a$-$z$0-9$A$-$Z$\_]*\backslash ).*/\backslash 1/$p$\text{'}$ s$1$out $>$ s$2$out

# Sort the user names

sort $$ s$2$out $>$ s$3$out

# Count the number of occurences of each username with uniq

uniq $-$c $$ s$3$out $>$ s$4$out

# Sort the output from uniq $-$c:

sort $-$k$1,1$nr $-$k$2,2$ s$4$out $>$ s$5$out

# Change all instance of "invalid" to $""$ with HTML$-$friendly brackets

sed $\text{'}$s$/$invalid$/\backslash /\text{'}$ s$6$out

# Put commas in numbers

cat s$6$out$|$ while read mycount myuserid; do

printf $"\%\text{'}$d $\%$s

$""$$mycount" $"$$myuserid" $>>$ s$7$out

done

# add the html

printf $"$
