shell script to edit the content of a file
Hi
I need some help using shell script to edit a file.
My original file has the following format:
/txt/email/myemail.txt
/txt/email/myemail2.txt
/pdf/email/myemail.pdf
/pdf/email/myemail2.pdf
/doc/email/myemail.doc
/doc/email/myemail2.doc
I need to read each line. If the path is /txt/email/, it should change to /emailtxt/. Before display the result, there should be a heading #txt email. If the path is /doc/email/, it should change to /emaildoc/ with heading #doc email. The changed text should move to the beginning of the file. The rest of the document is untouched.
For example, the result of the above file should look like
#txt email
/txt/email/myemail.txt
/txt/email/myemail2.txt
#doc email
/doc/email/myemail.doc
/doc/email/myemail2.doc
/pdf/email/myemail.pdf
/pdf/email/myemail2.pdf
I am new to shell scripting and I hope people can give me some guidence/example on how to write a shell script to do the above.
Any input would be really appreciated
Thanks
