Hi gurus,

below file is job list, the records without s( in the begining is job name in the box, the records with s() is the job depends on them (some of them in the box, some of them not in the box). I need to use script to find the job name not in the box.

Code:

 
sname-pname-cprexa
sname-pname-cprexa-success-1
s(sname-pname-cprexhaa)
s(sname-pname-cprexloa)
sname-pname-cprexa-success-2
s(sname-pname-cprexmta)
s(sname-pname-cprexrga)
sname-pname-cprexa-phase-job
s(sname-pname-cprexa-success-2)
s(sname-pname-abcd-phase)

from above file, the inbox job is

Code:

 
sname-pname-cprexa
sname-pname-cprexa-phase-job
sname-pname-cprexa-success-1
sname-pname-cprexa-success-2

and the job not inbox is

Code:

 
sname-pname-cprexhaa
sname-pname-cprexloa
sname-pname-cprexmta
sname-pname-cprexrga
sname-pname-abcd-phase

I wrote a script to do this but it is a little bit compleated. I am wonder if there is any easy way to achive this task.

my script as below.
grep ^s( filename > file1
grep -v ^s > file2
then remove s( and ) with command sed 's/s(//' |sed 's/)//'
then compare these two file2 and file1 find outbox job.

any inputs are welcom.

thanks in advance.
