find PHRASE and PATH
I've got a script which finds *.txt files in directories and subdirectories after providing the path by the user and then searches in the files for phrase given by the user
Quote:
#!/bin/bash
PATH_BIN=/bin
PATH_USR=/usr/bin
DIRECTORY=$1
PHRASE=$2
echo "";
read -p "Provide path to directory to find *.txt: " DIRECTORY
read -p "State what phrase you're looking for in the files *.txt: " PHRASE
function PHRASE_ {
if [ $PHRASE ];
then
echo "";
FOLDERS_=`$PATH_USR/find $DIRECTORY -name *.txt -print`
WRITE_=`$PATH_USR/find $DIRECTORY -name *.txt -print | $PATH_USR/xargs $PATH_USR/catdoc -a | $PATH_BIN/grep -n "$PHRASE"`
echo "$WRITE_" >> ${PATH}/temp/write_values.txt
exit -1;
# echo "The PHRASE is in : " ${FOLDERS_};
else echo "The PHRASE does not exist *.txt"
fi;
}
PHRASE_
How to write script in such way that the paths to the found *.txt files and the phrase given by the user were both displayed ?
For example:
Quote:
$./script.sh
Provide path to directory to find *.txt: /home/przemek/tempowy/find_txt/Catalogue
State what phrase you're looking for in the files *.txt: <value>
/home/przemek/tempowy/find_txt/Catalogue/data/common/file.txt
<value>
/home/przemek/tempowy/find_txt/Catalogue/data/common/tools/file.txt
<value>

shells
shells(4) File Formats shells(4)
NAME
shells - shell database
SYNOPSIS
/etc/shells
DESCRIPTION
The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser-
shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root.
A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines
which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored.
The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/ksh93, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh,
/bin/sh, /bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/ksh93, /usr/bin/pfcsh,
/usr/bin/pfksh, /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh, and /usr/sfw/bin/zsh. /etc/shells overrides the default list.
Invalid shells in /etc/shells could cause unexpected behavior, such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1).
