directory names in a flat file
Hi,
Consider a flat file abc.conf contains some rows. Each row contains the directory name with full path. now I want to find a particular file in every directory which are mentioned in the abc.conf file. How it can be done through unix shell script.

If you are searching for abc.txt.

Code:
while read dir
do
echo "Searching in $dir"
find "$dir" -name abc.txt
done < abc.conf
Not tested.
