Hello Members

I am facing a problem regarding pattern matching.please guide me to solve the issue.My requirement is like:
There is table in oracle database, in that table contain columns ,inside the column so many files are there. my requirement is that to search a pattern for example: pattern is "123456" . Write a shell script that search the pattern one by one file(i.e it takes the file one by one from table) . if inside a file pattern doesn't exist then it will redirect this pattern and file name to some other file.

Please give me some idea so that i can move ahead, any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks
Rakesh

chk_file ()
{
echo "Enter the destination direcory nm: [Give the full path]"
read dest

for f in `cat $1`
do
if [ -f $f ] && [ ` grep "(pattern like:1234)" $f | wc -w ` != 1 ]; then

mv $f $dest

fi
done

}

# login to unix machine(check the instance)

echo "`dbaccess db_nm << EOFSQL 2>> /dev/null/
SELECT col_nm FROM Tab_nm;
EOFSQL`" > file_nms.tmp


chk_file file_nms.tmp

Plz try this...(FOR ORACLE)
chk_file ()
{
echo "Enter the destination direcory nm: [Give the full path]"
read dest

for f in $1
do
if [ -f $f ] && [ ` grep "(pattern like:1234)" $f | wc -w ` != 1 ]; then

mv $f $dest

fi
done

}

file_nm=`sqlplus -S usernm/passwd@host_string <<EOF

SELECT col_nm FROM tab_nm`
