Searching for Log / Bad file and Reading and writing to a flat file
Need to develop a unix shell script for the below requirement and I need your assistance:

1) search for file.log and file.bad file in a directory and read them
2) pull out "Load_Start_Time", "Data_File_Name", "Error_Type" from log file
4) concatinate each row from bad file as "Error_Description"
5) write to a output flat file record by record
6) make sure the "number of bad record count from log file = number of records written to the output flat file"
7) below are the formats of log and bad file and output file

Log File:
=========
Load started at: 1-Oct-10 11:00:00 EDT
Database: Oracle
Tablename: abc_def_123
Datafile: /abc/def/ghi/inbound/files/file.dat

Error_Type:
-------------------------------------------------
1: 123(456) [CHAR(1)] value too long for column]
2: 123(456) [CHAR(1)] value too long for column]
3: 123(456) [CHAR(1)] value too long for column]
4: 123(456) [CHAR(1)] value too long for column]

number of bad records: 4

Bad File:
========
111 456 abc 789 2010-10-1 manager US
222 456 abc 789 2010-10-1 employee US
333 456 abc 789 2010-10-1 contractor US
444 456 abc 789 2010-10-1 partner US


Output File:
===========
Load_Start_Time Data_File_Name Error_Type Error_Description
1-Oct-10 11:00:00 file.dat 1: 123(456) [CHAR(1)] value too long for column] 111 456 abc 789 2010-10-1 manager US
1-Oct-10 11:00:00 file.dat 2: 123(456) [CHAR(1)] value too long for column] 222 456 abc 789 2010-10-1 employee US
1-Oct-10 11:00:00 file.dat 3: 123(456) [CHAR(1)] value too long for column] 333 456 abc 789 2010-10-1 contractor US
1-Oct-10 11:00:00 file.dat 4: 123(456) [CHAR(1)] value too long for column] 444 456 abc 789 2010-10-1 partner US

platform::shell

platform::shell(n)					       Tcl Bundled Packages						platform::shell(n)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       platform::shell - System identification support code and utilities

SYNOPSIS

       package require platform::shell ?1.1.4?

       platform::shell::generic shell
       platform::shell::identify shell
       platform::shell::platform shell
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       The platform::shell package provides several utility commands useful for the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell.

       This  package  allows the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell different from the shell running the package. The only
       requirement is that the other shell (identified by its path), is actually executable on the current machine.

       While for most platform this means that the architecture of the interrogated shell is identical to the architecture of  the  running  shell
       this  is  not generally true. A counter example are all platforms which have 32 and 64 bit variants and where a 64bit system is able to run
       32bit code. For these running and interrogated shell may have different 32/64 bit settings and thus different identifiers.

       For applications like a code repository it is important to identify the architecture of the shell which will  actually  run  the  installed
       packages, versus the architecture of the shell running the repository software.

COMMANDS

       platform::shell::identify shell
	      This command does the same identification as platform::identify, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.

       platform::shell::generic shell
	      This command does the same identification as platform::generic, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.

       platform::shell::platform shell
	      This command returns the contents of tcl_platform(platform) for the specified Tcl shell.
