Thanks.

But if i would like to add in a third field with 0 of the intended copied file; how could I do so without creating another files.

Means :-

in MM folder I have A.txt(size which is 0) and in NN folder I have similar A.txt (size more than 0)

if [-s MM/A.txt] then

else cat NN/A.txt <perform the addition of all 0s in third field of A.txt>
copy MM/A.txt to NN/A.txt

I would like to perform the substitution if the size is 0 before copied to the new path.


Thanks.

-Jason
