File processing line by line
Hi,
I am doing file processing line by line. while reading each line at a specified location I am searching for a particular character and then write that line to another file.
Problem is while writing to another file it was supressing the spaces, which I don't want to do.
Any help is appreciable.
the code I used is
processLine(){
line="$@" # get all args
type=`echo $line | cut -c37`
if [ $type = 'A' ] ; then
atlr=`expr $atlr + 1`
echo $line
echo $line >> trana
fi
}
example :
abc1234 XXX40 1100
it was writing to file as
abc1234 XXX40 1100
Thanks in advance
