Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

I have 2 files like below.

File A:

apple
mango

File B:

start
abc
def
apple
ghi
end
start
cba
fed
mango
ihg
end

Now i need to search the contents of File A in File B and add a new line "is a fruit" where ever the content matches. So my required output will be like below.

start
abc
def
apple
is a fruit
ghi
end
start
cba
fed
mango
is a fruit
ihg
end

Please help me out in writing a shell script for this.

Hi

Code:

awk 'NR==FNR{a[$0];next}{print;if($0 in a){print "is a fruit";}}' FileA FileB

Guru.

Hi Guru,

Thanks much for the reply !!!

I tried with the following script

Code:

#! /bin/ksh
for i in `cat FileA.txt`
do
sed "/$i/a\is a fruit" FileB.txt >> FileC.txt
done

This adds the line but it added the contents of FileB twice to the new file FileC. So my output came is like below.

start
abc
def
apple
is a fruit
ghi
end
start
cba
fed
mango
ihg
end
start
abc
def
apple
ghi
end
start
cba
fed
mango
is a fruit
ihg
end

Can you help me out in sorting this out ?

for me works this:

Code:

while read Zeile
do 
 echo $Zeile
 if `grep -q $Zeile FileA`
 then 
   echo "this is a fruit"
 fi
done < FileB

or as i used it:

Code:

while read Zeile; do echo $Zeile; if `grep -q $Zeile FileA`; then echo "this is a fruit"; fi; done < FileB
