I have a bash script which works when called like this: `./stats.sh -rows test_file`

The program basically calculates row averages and medians & column averages and medians. Now to the program I want to pass file as standard input. but when I am running this code it prints `"you have 2 provide 2 arguments"`. what changes should I have to make so that the code takes stdin as a file. I mean to say If I want to run the script I can run it by this way as well `./stats.sh -rows < test_file`. I want to get this functionality!!

the input file is: (**columns separated by tabs**)

```
93  93  93  93  93  93  93  93  100
73  84  95  83  72  86  80  97  100
85  0   82  75  88  79  80  81  100
85  0   87  73  88  79  80  71  100
80  81  83  63  100 85  63  68  100
53  57  61  53  70  61  73  50  100
55  54  41  63  63  45  33  41  100
53  55  43  44  63  75  35  21  100
100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100

```

the code which I worked on is this:

```

    echo "${#}"
    FILE= "${4}"
    if [ -f "${FILE}" ]; then
     flag=1
    else
      echo "You have provided more number of arguments" >&2
    fi
    exit 1
