You're welcome... You could adjust the shell loop like so, leaving out the first input file and reading from the terminal instead..
Code:
while
printf "Enter new group name : "
read service_group
do
printf "You entered: %s\n" "$service_group"
printf "create service_group %s\n" "$service_group"
while read port
do
printf "create service_group %s '' services:tcp%s\n" "$service_group" "$port"
done < file2
done
This is perfect. Thanks again.
Quick question, how to stop this loop besides using combination of Ctrl + C?
Code:
type8code0@box:~/dbedit$ ./test
Enter new group name : XYZ
You entered: XYZ
create service_group XYZ
create service_group XYZ '' services:tcp22
create service_group XYZ '' services:tcp80
create service_group XYZ '' services:tcp443
Enter new group name :
You entered:
create service_group
create service_group '' services:tcp22
create service_group '' services:tcp80
create service_group '' services:tcp443
Enter new group name : ABC
You entered: ABC
create service_group ABC
create service_group ABC '' services:tcp22
create service_group ABC '' services:tcp80
create service_group ABC '' services:tcp443
Enter new group name :
