ls -ld GTDA_Dly_Sls_SS_136_20130917.20130917205418.psv
/bin/ls: cannot access GTDA_Dly_Sls_SS_136_20130917.20130917205418.psv: No such file or directory

hi,

the problem is the files which i am passing to temp folder after below command ...

var1=`cat file_GTDA.xls|grep 'GTDA_Dly_Sls_'`
var4="|"
for i in $var1
do
var3=`cut -d "$var4" -f18,19 $i|sort -u`
var2=$var4""$var3
sed -n 's/'"$var2"'//p' $i> ./temp/$i
# sed -e 's/'"$var2"'//p' $i> ./temp/$i
done

excpected files are passed to temp but with 0 bytes./dm/RMDW_LandingZone/dev/work_area/ABaC_reregister/temp> ls -ltr
total 8
