I have a requirement to read a list of script names create a .finish blank file for each of them.
The script names can be like:
- ScriptName.sh
- ScriptName.sh Param1
- ScriptName.sh Param1 Param2
I need to create files like below using the same script:
- ScriptName.finished
- ScriptName.Param1.finished
- ScriptName.Param1.Param2.finished
I am trying to read these script names in a loop and cut the 3 values to create it.
Code:
while read SCRIPT_NAME
do
scr=`echo $SCRIPT_NAME | cut -d "." -f1`
par1=`echo $SCRIPT_NAME | cut -d " " -f2`
par2=`echo $SCRIPT_NAME | cut -d " " -f3`
##Condition here to check if par1 and par2 are blank and then create a blank file
done <"ListFile.txt"
In first case test1.sh, all three values are given as test1, test1.sh, test1.sh
Since cut has nothing after first space, should it not have the value for par1 and par2 as blank?
I am using ksh. Is there an easier way to do this?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi,
I'm running 2.6.9-55.ELsmp. I'm looking for a script to remove a blank line on the first line of a file. The script must also test if the file is 0k, if yes then do nothing, but if the file is > 0k then check if the first line is not blank, if yes then remove the line then save it.

cut
cut(1) User Commands cut(1)NAME
cut - cut out selected fields of each line of a file
SYNOPSIS
cut -b list [-n] [file]...
cut -c list [file]...
cut -f list [-d delim] [-s] [file]...
DESCRIPTION
Use the cut utility to cut out columns from a table or fields from each line of a file; in data base parlance, it implements the projection
of a relation. The fields as specified by list can be fixed length, that is, character positions as on a punched card (-c option) or the
length can vary from line to line and be marked with a field delimiter character like TAB (-f option). cut can be used as a filter.
Either the -b, -c, or -f option must be specified.
Use grep(1) to make horizontal ``cuts'' (by context) through a file, or paste(1) to put files together column-wise (that is, horizontally).
To reorder columns in a table, use cut and paste.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
list A comma-separated or blank-character-separated list of integer field numbers (in increasing order), with optional - to indi-
cate ranges (for instance, 1,4,7; 1-3,8; -5,10 (short for 1-5,10); or 3- (short for third through last field)).
-b list The list following -b specifies byte positions (for instance, -b1-72 would pass the first 72 bytes of each line). When -b and
-n are used together, list is adjusted so that no multi-byte character is split.
-c list The list following -c specifies character positions (for instance, -c1-72 would pass the first 72 characters of each line).
-d delim The character following -d is the field delimiter (-f option only). Default is tab. Space or other characters with special
meaning to the shell must be quoted. delim can be a multi-byte character.
-f list The list following -f is a list of fields assumed to be separated in the file by a delimiter character (see -d ); for
instance, -f1,7 copies the first and seventh field only. Lines with no field delimiters will be passed through intact (useful
for table subheadings), unless -s is specified.
-n Do not split characters. When -b list and -n are used together, list is adjusted so that no multi-byte character is split.
-s Suppresses lines with no delimiter characters in case of -f option. Unless specified, lines with no delimiters will be passed
through untouched.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
file A path name of an input file. If no file operands are specified, or if a file operand is -, the standard input will be used.
USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of cut when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte (2^31 bytes).
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Mapping user IDs
A mapping of user IDs to names follows:
example% cut -d: -f1,5 /etc/passwd
Example 2 Setting current login name
To set name to current login name:
example$ name=`who am i | cut -f1 -d' '`
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of cut: LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LC_MES-
SAGES, and NLSPATH.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 All input files were output successfully.
>0 An error occurred.
