Question help needed urgently
hi all
i need help
I am confused and stucked. Actually i am new in this scripting stuff. I want to give complete txt file as a input to a variable and then sort the data in the file according to the alpha numeric characters, as my text file contains ! and !! and !!! indicating Minor, Major and Critical repectively. Each alpha numeric represent new entry. I am trying to do but all in vain, help needed plz,codes which i am trying are as follows,

[code]:

#!/bin/bash
alarmfile= `cat ~/alkatel.txt`
[\code]

i tried so many times but whenever i try to take file as input by code above but i got the output

>> : command not found

its a long file ,im sending a part of this text file that i want to take as input

example of file

>> ALAIL;

CMD ALAIL 06095 08-01-30 11-58-23
INP ALAIL 06095 08-01-30 11-58-23

if i removed these >> operators from the start of file i again got the same output

ALAIL ; :command not found

even this file doesnt have executeable permission but still i am getting this message
i am so confused as i am still at my first step since 3 days
please help me, why it doesnt take the whole file as text input rather the first word and ignorin the rest of file

as i told befor ! & !!! showing minor & critical alarms.its a log file of alkatel switch & i have to extract

!!! , !! , !
with relevant
date & time e.g !!! */07-12-17/15 H 46/
event i.e. EVENT=MAL
& texal i.e. /TEXAL=SINGLE JUNCT/UT OOS/COMPL.INF

i collected stuff about reg exp from this site to take yhe substring but couldnt find a way still

let me make it very clear that i need this script in bash onlynot perl and any other language

i tried another script to extract entry components from the file as
Code:
:
#!/bin/bash
var=~/alkatel.txt
while read line $var
do
{
echo $line
}done
but the out put became the infinite loop of the first line as

>> ALAIL; :command not found

can any one do it
waiting for reply soon

I don't think read works this way.
Try:
Code:
cat $var | while read line
It appears from your error that you are inadvertantly executing the lines of the file rather than just reading them. Post your full script (use CODE and /CODE tags carefully to make it easier to read) and we'll take a look.

set -x
#alarmfile= `cat ~/alkatel.txt`
alarmfile=`cat ~/alkatel.txt`


also in your scripts you might add "set -x" to see the commands as they run to help debugging
