Reading through the comments that have been posted in this thread, it seems clear to me that hadinetcat doesn't understand what the command:
does. Putting it in a loop is adding to the confusion, but the output found in the file file4.txt looks perfectly reasonable except that there should not be any blank lines in the output and there should be three more occurrences of the sequence:
If we look at the commands that will be executed by this loop that produce output, they are:
The man page for grep says the command:
will print the each line in the file numbers that contains the character 5 and print the 1st x lines from numbers that follow the line that contained the 5. So if the contents of the file numbers is:
the 1st command in the list above will print:
the 2nd command will add:
the 3rd command will add:
the 4th command will add:
and each of the remaining six commands will add:
I suspect that the output you're showing here is a subset of the contents of file4.txt and that the output is exactly what I described above as the expected output from your script.
I'm suspecting that English is not your first language, but if what you mean by:

is that you want a script to produce the output:
then the easy way to do this (either with bash or with ksh) is:
If this is the output you want, but you insist on using grep -A on the file numbers with the contents shown before, a way to do this roughly following the format of your script would be:
If what you wanted is the output:
and you want to use grep -A to get it, as has been shown above, no loop is required. The single command:
is sufficient.

I'm trying to understand if it's possible to create a set of variables that are numbered based on another variable (using eval) in a loop, and then call on it before the loop ends.
As an example I've written a script called question (The fist command is to show what is the contents of the... (2 Replies)
Hi Im running this script, which is supposed to find the max value build some tables and then stop running once all the tables are built. Thing is , it keeps assigning a null value to $h and then $g is null so it keep building tables i.e. testupdateNUL. How can I stop this? Here is what I have:

Sorry for the basic question, but i am writing a shell script to get around a slightly flaky binary that ships with one of our servers. This particular utility randomly generates the correct information and could work first time or may work on the 12th or 100th attempt etc !.... (4 Replies)

hope I am posting in the right section.
My problem is that I have 2 or more arguments passed and I want to check if the arguments passed exists or not.
The first argument should not exist and the remaining others should exist.

Hi, I was debating if I should put this in the dummies or scripts section, I apologize in advance if I chose poorly.
Fairly new to Unix and BASH scripting but I thought I made it fairly well given my limited understanding. However, the output indicates that it's looping and I'm ending up with a... (5 Replies)
