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

icapnotify
icapnotify(1M) icapnotify(1M)
NAME
icapnotify - Test email connectivity to HP for Instant Capacity (iCAP) systems. Request a confirmation response email from HP. Turn config-
uration change notification and asset reporting on or off.
SYNOPSIS
icapnotify <reply_address>
icapnotify -a on|off
icapnotify -n on|off
Obsolescent:
icod_notify <reply_address>
icod_notify -a on|off
icod_notify -n on|off
DESCRIPTION
When a reply_address is specified, sends an asset report via email to HP, root, and the specified email address. Confirmation email is
sent from HP to the specified reply email address indicating that HP received the asset report email.
Note that asset reporting is optional but can be useful for viewing complexwide asset information at the HP Utility Pricing Solutions por-
tal (http://www.hp.com/go/icap/portal).
The deprecated command provides identical functionality to the command and is maintained for backward compatibility.
For detailed information on email configuration and requirements, see the located at /usr/share/doc/icapUserGuide.pdf.
Options
The command recognizes these options and arguments:
-a on|off Turns email asset reporting on or off. This option is used to specify if the Instant Capacity software should send asset
reports to HP via email. The command displays the present setting for this option.
-n on|off Turns configuration change notification on or off. If specified on, executing the command results in a configuration
change notification email sent to the system contact email address summarizing any configuration change. Configuration
change notification email can be turned off by specifying off. Configuration change notifications are not sent if the
system contact email address is not set.
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables
o LANG determines the locale to use for the locale categories when both LC_ALL and the corresponding environment variable (begin-
ning with LC_) do not specify a locale. If LANG is not set or is set to the empty string, a default of C is used (see lang(5)).
o LC_CTYPE determines the interpretation of single- and multiple-byte characters.
o LC_MESSAGES determines the language in which messages are displayed.
If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, icapnotify behaves as if all internationalization variables are
set to C (see environ(5)).
International Code Set Support
Single- and multiple-byte character code sets are supported.
RETURN VALUE
The command exits with one of these values:
0 Command succeeded.
>0 Command failed; error message sent to STDERR.
EXAMPLES
Test email connectivity with HP by sending an asset report to HP, root , and super_user@corp.com, and request a confirmation email from HP
to be sent to super_user@corp.com:
icapnotify super_user@corp.com
Turn email asset reporting on:
icapnotify -a on
Turn email asset reporting off:
icapnotify -a off
Turn configuration change notification on:
icapnotify -n on
Turn configuration change notification off:
icapnotify -n off
