parse apl-numeric codes from filenames, and match them to entries in database
Hello,
I am new to Unix scripting, and would like some help with my issue:
I have vairous files having some alphanumeric codes in them e.g.
10000-01
34440TE
34590SR
All these codes are stored in the database, and I need to parse these codes out of these filenames, and match them with the database entries.
For instance:
File Name: 10000-01 Western Region.xls should match with database code 10000-01 or
South Region perf-34590SR.xls should match with database code 34590SR.
Also, the script should give me the code coming in from the filename in a variable.
Any help will be greatly appreciated for this critical task I have on hand.
Thanks,
Mel.

mkzonedb
MKZONEDB(8) Linux System Administration MKZONEDB(8)
NAME
mkzonedb - Utility create a zone file for isdnlog
SYNOPSIS
mkzonedb -r zonefile -d database [-v] [-V] [-o Oz] [-l len]
DESCRIPTION
mkzonedb reads a text file with zone (area code) information, and writes it in a special format to the database file so that other apps
such as isdnlog can easily access the data.
This data is used to determine in what "zone" a given area code is in relation to another, to see what rate applies to a call between these
area codes ("is the call a local call").
This utility is really only used during the building of the isdnlog-data package, but it may be useful for those who want to create their
own custom tables.
OPTIONS
-r zonefile
the text file with the zone information. Use "-" for standard input.
-d database
the output database filename
-v verbose mode
-V show version information, and quit (don't do anything)
-o Oz Use "Oz" area zone. Default is 1. (What does this mean, exactly?)
-l len "len" is the length of areacodes.
If 5 or more is given, then more space is allocated for the internal tables (40000 instead of 10000 numbers allowed). Other values
aren't really used.
