Yes, Its working.
But my criteria is something different.
My input file data is,
Code:
abcdefghij;20100903040607;1234567891;GLOBAL;
04;ABC123;09;XYZ456;PQR6789;VRAI;;;;;;
04;EFG456;09;STU123;WXYZ786;FAUX;;;;;;
04;MNO101;09;LMN489;PQRS789;VRAI;;;;;;

1] First line should have 4 fields and need to check for last field value.
Solution is,
Code:
               line=`head -1 $FILE`
		echo "Line is : $line"
		nrfields=$(IFS=\;; set -- $line; echo $#)
		if [ $nrfields -ne 4 ]; then
		   echo "Wrong number of fields: $line"
		else
		FileType=`echo $line | cut -d ";" -f 4`
		echo "File Type is $FileType"
		fi

2] From 2nd line onward fields are 11 and all fields have values/not.
3] Need to check 6th fieldof each line. If 6th field value is VRAI, then values of 2nd and 4th fields from that line should be stored in an arraylist.

Please help me out to solve this 2 problems above.
