Hi All,

I have a status.txt file which contains following three files.

1.xml
2.xml
3.xml

Now i have written a shell script 1.sh which contains the following

cat status.txt | while read filename
do
echo $filename
case "$filename" in
xml)
echo "running 1.xml"
;;
esac
done

now when i am running the above 1.sh file then i am getting the following output.

1.xml
2.xml
3.xml

But i am not getting the following output
running 1.xml
Can anybody told me that what is the wrong with this 1.sh code??

Should i check the /xml$/ for case statement??????

Thanks

Hi sunitha,
use this.

cat status.txt | while read filename
do
echo "here $filename"
case "$filename" in
*xml)
echo "running 1.xml"
;;
esac
done

Also lose the Useless Use of Cat.

while read filename
do
  echo "here $filename"
  case "$filename" in
    *xml)
      echo "running $filename"  # ... I guess you mean
      ;;
  esac
done <status.txt
