Shell script to read file and check file type
Hi,

I have a file with few values in it. I need script help to read file line by line and check:

1/if it's a file (with extension eg .java .css .jar etc )
or
2/if it's a file without extension and treat it as a directory and then check if the directory exists in working copy else create one

file example:
Code:
$cat test1
HelloWorldApplication/build.property
HelloWorldApplication/src/com/example/helloWorld/test.jar
test_merge.log
db2jcc.jar
log4j.jar
HelloWorldApplication/src/com
HelloWorldApplication/src/com/example
HelloWorldApplication/src/com/example/helloWorld
HelloWorldApplication/src/com/example/helloWorld/HelloWorld.java
HelloWorldApplication
.property
