Match the amount fields in the source file vs trigger file
Hello,
I have to write a script to compare the sum of the amount fields in a source file and the amount field in another file.
details are:
based on the name of the source file (say SALES as an example), a file already available in a path will be grabbed (say SALES_ParmFile) and this file will have a text - "amount fields" - 2,3 and 5. this means the source file SALES.txt has amount values in the fields 2 , 3 and 5. there is a trigger file (SALES_TRIGGER) sent with the source file everyday which will have the total of the amount fields, see below.. I need to match the source file amount fields and the trigger file total amounts and for no match write to a log file.
example:
cat SALES_ParmFile
amount fields: 2,3,5
cat SALES
Q,100,120,100,23,SEW
A,10,34,56,48,ABR
cat SALES_TRIGGER:
SALES_AMOUNT2:110
SALES_AMOUNT3:154
SALES_AMOUNT5:71
as you can notice, the field number in the SALES_ParmFile file will help to get the corresponding amount field.. the total of amount field 2 in the source file has to be compared with the SALES_AMOUNT2 field value and similarly total of amount field 5 to be compared with SALES_AMOUNT5.
the thing here is everything is dynamic.. there are 3 fields that has amount fields in a source SALES and in other file it can be 4 fields and the same script has to be used for all the files..
can somebody help me with this? if you have questions, please let me know.
thanks in advance

Hi All,
Is ther any way to write the script with source trigger ?
To trigger the script on particular time we have crontab.
Similarly in a path, when a file comes particular script has to run.

NAME
free - Display amount of free and used memory in the system
SYNOPSIS
free [options]
DESCRIPTION
free displays the total amount of free and used physical and swap memory in the system, as well as the buffers and caches used by the ker-
nel. The information is gathered by parsing /proc/meminfo. The displayed columns are:
total Total installed memory (MemTotal and SwapTotal in /proc/meminfo)
used Used memory (calculated as total - free - buffers - cache)
free Unused memory (MemFree and SwapFree in /proc/meminfo)
shared Memory used (mostly) by tmpfs (Shmem in /proc/meminfo)
buffers
Memory used by kernel buffers (Buffers in /proc/meminfo)
cache Memory used by the page cache and slabs (Cached and SReclaimable in /proc/meminfo)
buff/cache
Sum of buffers and cache
available
Estimation of how much memory is available for starting new applications, without swapping. Unlike the data provided by the cache or
free fields, this field takes into account page cache and also that not all reclaimable memory slabs will be reclaimed due to items
being in use (MemAvailable in /proc/meminfo, available on kernels 3.14, emulated on kernels 2.6.27+, otherwise the same as free)
OPTIONS
-b, --bytes
Display the amount of memory in bytes.
-k, --kibi
Display the amount of memory in kibibytes. This is the default.
-m, --mebi
Display the amount of memory in mebibytes.
-g, --gibi
Display the amount of memory in gibibytes.
--tebi Display the amount of memory in tebibytes.
--pebi Display the amount of memory in pebibytes.
--kilo Display the amount of memory in kilobytes. Implies --si.
--mega Display the amount of memory in megabytes. Implies --si.
--giga Display the amount of memory in gigabytes. Implies --si.
--tera Display the amount of memory in terabytes. Implies --si.
--peta Display the amount of memory in petabytes. Implies --si.
-h, --human
Show all output fields automatically scaled to shortest three digit unit and display the units of print out. Following units are
used.
B = bytes
K = kibibyte
M = mebibyte
G = gibibyte
T = tebibyte
P = pebibyte
If unit is missing, and you have exbibyte of RAM or swap, the number is in tebibytes and columns might not be aligned with header.
-w, --wide
Switch to the wide mode. The wide mode produces lines longer than 80 characters. In this mode buffers and cache are reported in two
separate columns.
-c, --count count
Display the result count times. Requires the -s option.
-l, --lohi
Show detailed low and high memory statistics.
-s, --seconds delay
Continuously display the result delay seconds apart. You may actually specify any floating point number for delay using either .
or , for decimal point. usleep(3) is used for microsecond resolution delay times.
--si Use kilo, mega, giga etc (power of 1000) instead of kibi, mebi, gibi (power of 1024).
-t, --total
Display a line showing the column totals.
--help Print help.
-V, --version
Display version information.
FILES
/proc/meminfo
memory information
BUGS
The value for the shared column is not available from kernels before 2.6.32 and is displayed as zero.
