Thanks

Thank You RudiC for all your efforts.
Sorry I forgot to mention system and shell. Smilie
system is AIX 6.1 and shell is ksh
I will try your code.

in your code
Code:
 do if [ "${line:0:3}" != "dir" ]

i am not sure if this line of code will work in ksh.
i guess you are looking for 4 directories always. In my case it could be any number of directories and not 4 always ... You mentioned already " Always four dirs?" i missed it. very sorry for that Smilie

I tried to run your script by changing the code from
Code:
#!/bin/bash

to
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

and removing that "function" keyword, but it failed in this line
Code:
"${line:0:3}": bad substitution

I guess this doesn't work in ksh.

DH_DI_NUMBERS(1)						     Debhelper							  DH_DI_NUMBERS(1)

NAME
dh_di_numbers - install numbered scripts into package build directories SYNOPSIS
dh_di_numbers [debhelper options] [dir [...] dest] DESCRIPTION
dh_di_numbers is a debhelper program that installs directories of numbered scripts into package build directories. Within each directory, there should be a "_numbers" file in which each line contains at least two space-separated fields. The first field in each line is a two-digit number, which will be prefixed to the entry name to provide ordering within the directory; the second is the entry name, which must correspond to a file or directory alongside the "_numbers" file; and the third field, if present, is another two- digit number which identifies another entry with the same entry name to which this entry should be a symlink. Any additional directory names specified as parameters will be installed in the package build directory of the first package dh_di_numbers is told to act on. By default, this is the first binary package in debian/control, but if you use -p, -i, or -a flags, it will be the first package specified by those flags. FILES
debian/package.di-numbers List the directories to install into each package and the directory they should be installed to. The format is a set of lines, where each line lists a directory or directories to install, and at the end of the line tells the directory they should be installed in. The name of the directories to install should be given relative to the current directory, while the installation directory is given relative to the package build directory. You may use wildcards in the names of the files to install (in v3 mode and above). OPTIONS
dir [...] dest Lists directories to install and where to install them to. The files will be installed into the first package dh_di_numbers acts on. SEE ALSO
debhelper(7) This program is a part of dh-di. AUTHOR
