Bash script to read a file from particular line till required line and process
Hi All,
Am trying to write wrapper shell/bash script on a utility tool for which i need to pass 2 files as arugment to execute utility tool.
Wraper script am trying is to do with above metion 2 files.
utility tool accepts :
a. userinfo file : which contains username
b. item file : which contains items to be processed by mentioned users from userinfo file.
Below script works fine for userfile and itemfile
Am thinking of writing a wrapper script which call this script but in the wapper script it should execute utility tool from specified lines to perticular line from userfile and even for itemfile.
for ex : say userfile has 100 users and itemfile has 1000 items. so, i should call the wrapper script with passing argument saying run script for users from line 20-45 from userfile and say item from line 250-400 from itemfile.
basically it should run the utility tool from specified user number to a specfied item numbers.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks
