Unable to write to a file within a loop
Hi All,

Following is the program that i have written in cygwin. The redirection of the unfound $param1 to error.txt file doesnt work.Can any one help?

Code:
 
#!/usr/bin/sh
fname=$1
sed 's/ //g' "$fname" > fname1
while read i
do
    echo $i > file1
    #param1 is script name
    param1=`awk -F , '{print $1}' file1`
    param1="$param1.sql"
    #param2 is BL
    param2=`awk -F , '{print $2}' file1`
    #param3 is folder name
    param3=`awk -F , '{print $3}' file1`
    #create config spec file
    echo "element * $param2" > cs.txt
    echo "element * /main/LATEST" >> cs.txt
    #cat cs.txt
    #create directory structure
    mkdir -p "$param3"
    #Map UCM drive
    cd /cygdrive/m/ht62_ucm/GIS_COMP
    cleartool setcs -tag ht62_ucm d:/prj/cs.txt
    echo set config spec status is $?
    fscript1=`cleartool find ./$param3 -element "lbtype_sub($param2)" -name $param1 -print`
    if [ "$fscript1" = "" ]
    then
	echo script $param1 not found >> error.txt
    else
	echo script $param1 is found
	fscript2=`echo "$fscript1" | sed 's/@@//g'`
	echo copying file...
	cp $fscript2 "/cygdrive/d/prj/$param3" 2>/dev/null
    fi
    cd /cygdrive/d/prj
done < fname1
echo Copy complete

txt2pdbdoc

txt2pdbdoc(1)						      General Commands Manual						     txt2pdbdoc(1)

NAME

       txt2pdbdoc - Text to Doc file converter for Palm Pilots

SYNOPSIS

       txt2pdbdoc [-b] [-c] [-v] document-name file.txt file.pdb
       txt2pdbdoc -d [-D] [-v] file.pdb [ file.txt ]
       txt2pdbdoc -V

DESCRIPTION

       txt2pdbdoc  converts  a plain text file to a Doc(4) file in PDB (Pilot Database) format used by all models of the Palm Pilot.  (It can also
       convert a Doc file to plain text.)  Resultant PDB files can be downloaded directly to a Pilot during a HotSync.

       The document-name is used in the Document List view of a Doc reader application on the Pilot.

OPTIONS

       -b   Ordinarily, characters with an ASCII code less than 9 are removed and both carriage-returns and form-feeds are converted to  newlines.
	    This option suppresses that behavior.

       -c   Ordinarily, text is compressed.  This option suppresses compression.

       -d   Decode the given Doc file to text either to a file or to standard output if no file is specified.

       -D   Do	not check the file type/creator of the file to decode.	This option should be specified only if you know for sure that the file is
	    in fact some sort of Doc file.  Attempting to decode non-Doc files will result in undefined behavior and quite possibly crash.

       -v   Verbose mode.  For encoding, print progress and compression statistics per 4K of text to standard error as well as overall	statistics
	    when completed; for decoding, print progress in a ``countdown'' style.

       -V   Print the version number of txt2pdbdoc to standard output and exit.

EXAMPLE

       To convert a text file to Doc file:

	    txt2pdbdoc 'Through the Looking Glass' alice.txt alice.pdb

EXIT STATUS

       Exits with one of the values given below:

	    0	 Success.
	    1	 Error in command-line options or use.
	    2	 Unable to open source file.
	    3	 Unable to open destination file.
	    4	 Unable to read file.
	    5	 Unable to write file.
	    6	 File is not a Doc file.
	    7	 Doc file uses unknown compression type.

CAVEATS

       1.  Document  names  are  limited  to  31 characters in PDB format.  Longer names are truncated but have the 29-31st characters replaced by
	   ``...'' to indicate truncation.

       2.  The command isn't called ``txt2doc'' to avoid confusion about possibly having anything to do with Microsoft Word documents that use the
	   .doc extension.
