Creating variables dynamically and using it in script?
Hi,
I have a problem that I am trying to solve and would greatly appreciate some input to solve this. I have a file containing variable length of line. Each line in the file has values separated by "," and i need to grep for these values in a some files. For example below is a sample file with 3 lines:
Code:
file1:a,b,c,d
file2:e,f
file3:g,h,i,j,k,l
I have gone pass to read this file line by line but how do i pass each value separated by "," to variable and use it in a grep command.
So basically i need to dynamically generate variables and pass it to grep command for further processing like:
Code:
for a,b,c
grep "$var" file1
for e,f
grep "$var" file2
for g,h,i,j,k,l
grep "$var" file3
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Can we use Arrays?
Thanks in advance.

zgrep
ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
