I am a newbie...I would like to have a function which ll check if a file contains valid strings before "=" operator. Just to give you my requirement:
assume my file has content:
my requirement is to check each line of the file, get the string before "=" operator, ie in this case hello,world,xxxx. For my requirement say hello,world are valid strings. Hence i need to check if hello,world,xxxx belong to my valid string list, if not then need to return invalid from function. Please help

How to check the user input to be valid using shell script?
The valid input is in the format like as follows.
1. It can only have r,w,x or a hyphen and nothing else.
2. ensure the r, w, x are in the correct order.
for example: rwxr-xr-x is a valid format.

CheckDigits::M10_010(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation CheckDigits::M10_010(3pm)NAME
CheckDigits::M10_010 - compute check digits for Postscheckkonti (CH)
SYNOPSIS
use Algorithm::CheckDigits;
$pck = CheckDigits('postcheckkonti');
if ($pck->is_valid('85-12345678-7')) {
# do something
}
$cn = $pck->complete('85-12345678');
# $cn = '85-12345678-7'
$cd = $pck->checkdigit('85-12345678-7');
# $cd = '7'
$bn = $pck->basenumber('85-12345678-7');
# $bn = '85-12345678'
DESCRIPTION
ALGORITHM
1. The sequence of digits is processed left to right. For the first digit we assume a carry forward of 0.
2. For each digit d(i) the carry forward cf(i) is the digit at the the position p in the sequence ( 0, 9, 4, 6, 8, 2, 7, 1, 3, 5 ), where
p is (d(i) + cf(i-1)) modulo 10.
3. The check digit is the difference of the sum from step 3 to the next multiple of 10.
METHODS
is_valid($number)
Returns true only if $number consists solely of numbers and the last digit is a valid check digit according to the algorithm given
above.
Returns false otherwise,
complete($number)
The check digit for $number is computed and concatenated to the end of $number.
Returns the complete number with check digit or '' if $number does not consist solely of digits and spaces.
basenumber($number)
Returns the basenumber of $number if $number has a valid check digit.
Return '' otherwise.
checkdigit($number)
Returns the checkdigit of $number if $number has a valid check digit.
Return '' otherwise.
EXPORT
None by default.
