Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

I have a name.txt which is stored:

APPLE
ORANGE
RED
BLUE
GREEN

and my script is:
$name=`cat name.txt
for file_number in `ls 1 /appl/CH_DATA/archive/CACHE/CDBACKUP$name*.archived

however, my script cannot read name.txt and put into my scrip line, I would like the output is to list all

CDBACKUPAPPLE*.archived
CDBACKUPORANGE*.archived

Same reply that read a part of filename from the list in the script
You can try something like this :

Code:

while read name
do
   ls -l CDBACKUPFILE${name}*.archived
done <list.txt

Jean-Pierre.

plz give the complete script, n plz copy paste it. closing back-quotes are missing in the script. what do u want the for loop to do?

ls 1 /appl/CH_DATA/archive/CACHE/CDBACKUP$name*.archived

what is '1' doing in the above line?
n if u want the asterisk (*) to be in the output, escape it with a backslash, \*...else the shell will evaluate it as a metacharacter

#!/bin/sh
start=1
while read name
do
ls -1 /appl/CH_DATA/archive/00000/CACHE/${name}*.archived | grep -v _9_4_bfmh.archived | grep -v _orig.archived >>output.txt
done <list.txt
for file_number in `cat list10.txt | grep -v _9_4_bfmh.archived | grep -v _orig.archived | sort | cut -c 43,44,45,46,47`
do
if [ $start -eq 1 ] ; then
# this is the first pass of the loop, so we've got nothing to compare
start=0
previous=$file_number
else
# this is not the first pass of the loop
previous=`expr $previous + 1`
#echo "comparing $file_number and $previous ... "
if [ $file_number = $previous ] ; then
echo "ok"
else
seqno=`expr $file_number - 1`
echo "CDBACKUP${name}$seqno are not in sequence "
fi
fi
previous=$file_number
done

#The above is my full script, the list.txt is like:
JOHN1
MARRY
PETER
CATT1


The full filename in CACHE directory is like:
CDBACKUPJOHN100001.archived
CDBACKUPJOHN100002.archived
CDBACKUPJOHN100004.archived
CDBACKUPMARRY00381.archived
CDBACKUPMARRY00382.archived
CDBACKUPMARRY00383.archived
CDBACKUPPETER01101.archived
CDBACKUPPETER01102.archived
CDBACKUPPETER01105.archived

I need to check the jump seq and show the full name which file is missing like:

CDBACKUPJOHN00003 is missing
CDBACKUPMARRY is no missing
CDBACKUPPETER01103 is missing
CDBACKUPPETER01104 is missing

please help!!!! many Thanks!

Code:

cat list10.txt | grep -v _9_4_bfmh.archived | grep -v _orig.archived | sort |
awk ' BEGIN { flag = "y" }
{ if(str != substr($0,1,13)) 
  {
	if ( flag == "n" ) print str " is no missing"
  	str = substr($0,1,13);
	seq = substr($0,14,5);
	flag = "n"
  }
  else
  {	
	seq1 = substr($0,14,5)
	seq = int(seq) + 1;
	if( seq != int(seq1) )
	{
	flag="y"
	  while( seq++ != int(seq1) )
	  {
		printf("%s%05d%s\n", substr($0,1,13), seq, " is missing")				
	  }
	}
  }
}'

Code:

ipfile=./ipfile  #inputfile where the names are stored
tmpfile=./tmp.txt #tempfiles used
tmpfile1=./tmp_used.txt  #temp file
while read fname  #the outer loop 
do
if [[ -f $tmpfile ]]; then
rm -f $tmpfile
fi
if [[ -f $tmpfile1 ]]; then
rm -f $tmpfile1
fi

ls ${fname}*|while read name  #getting the existing sequence seperately
do
echo ${name##${fname}} >>$tmpfile1
done

sort -n $tmpfile1 >$tmpfile  #Sort the sequences for a particular file pattern
rm -f $tmpfile1

awk -v fnam=$fname 'NR==1{num=$1;num++;} NR!=1{while($1 >  num) {print fnam num, "is missing"; num++; found=1;} num++} END{if(found==0){print fnam, "has nothing missing" } }' $tmpfile 

done <$ipfile
rm -f $tmpfile

You may have to format the filenames a little bit to get the listing you want.
