Thanks Franksunn and balajesuri:

I worked on it.Got it to work but your script looks better:

Code:
while read line
do
case `basename "$line"` in
*.* )
      echo $line
      echo "$line is ext"
       ;;
* )
       echo $line
       [[ -d $line ]] || mkdir -p $line
       echo "$line is directory"
       ;;
esac
done <"test1"

airport2-ipinspector

AIRPORT2-IPINSPECTOR(1) 				      General Commands Manual					   AIRPORT2-IPINSPECTOR(1)

NAME

       airport2-ipinspector - WAN monitoring utility for the Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station ("Snow")

SYNOPSIS

       airport2-ipinspector

DESCRIPTION

       airport2-ipinspector  monitors the WAN interface of the base station and sends an email notification whenever the external (WAN) IP address
       of the base station changes.

OPTIONS

       airport2-ipinspector accepts no command-line options. airport2-ipinspector is a wrapper script around the IPInspector.jar jar file  located
       in /usr/share/java/airport-utils.

       You  can set the JAVACMD environment variable to use a specific JVM instead of the one chosen by the wrapper script. Set the DEBUG environ-
       ment variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       DEBUG  Set this variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script.

       JAVACMD
	      The full path to the Java Virtual Machine to use.  By  default,  the  wrapper  uses  JAVACMD;  if  it  is  not  set,  it	looks  for
	      JAVA_BINDIR/java, then for JAVA_HOME/bin/java before looking for a java executable in the PATH. In the latter case, the JVM used can
	      be configured using the Debian alternatives system (see update-alternatives(8)).

       JAVA_HOME
	      The full path where your JDK/JRE is installed.

       JAVA_BINDIR
	      The full path to the directory where the java executable is located.

       JAVA_ARGS
	      Extra command-line arguments to be passed to the Java Virtual Machine.
