im so sorry for all the confusion and all my mistakes regarding my past posts. i hope you understand that im a beginner. but i am willing to learn and i am studying and learning these things.

target: a "dummyevents.log" that contains the directories that has "invalid files" in it.

flexibility: any
subdirs/dirs: only 7 directories to be checked
keywords does not change
1 word to be grep per directory

im so sorry regarding config files, we can use it or not depending on the script. the use of cfg file is a suggestion only to make my script short and simple

and im so sorry icant answer all you questions and i dont know the versions or model of my unix but you are correct i have some restrictions in commands
i am using UNIX solaris shell script when i perform showrev -a

Release: 5.8
Kernel architecture: sun4u
Application architecture: sparc
Hardware provider: Sun_Microsystems
Domain:
Kernel version: SunOS 5.8 Generic 117350-53 Jan 2008

OpenWindows version:
X11 Version 6.4.1 14 January 2008

Rephrased request: i have 7 directories, each directory as dafault files, those default files have 1 word in common in it.

home/dave/banana - default files has "BANANA" word in it
home/dave/orange - default files has "ORANGE" word in it
home/dave/orange1- default files has "ORANGE" word in it
home/dave/orange2- default files has "ORANGE" word in it
home/dave/apple - default files has "APPLE" word in it
home/dave/apple1 - default files has "APPLE" word in it
home/dave/apple2 - default files has "APPLE" word in it


i want a script which is as much as possible a short and a simple one,

for example there is a file in home/dave/banana without a "BANANA" word in it. so the script would reverse grep and will detect the files or files without "BANANA" in it then put a "dummyevent.log" in home/dave which when you view that "dumymevent.log" you will see the directory home/dave/banana.

then after that the script will go to home/dave/orange then reveser grep and detect the files without "ORANGE" in it then add home/dave/orange directory in the "dummyevents.log" located at home/dave.

and so on and so forth the remaining directories. but at the same time if the scriprt does not detect any invalid files (which means the all the files in the directory contains the common word) the sciprt will results also a "dummyevents.log" in home/dave which when you view it, it contains only "There is no invalid files in the given directories."

i hope you udnestand.. i cant send you a private message becuase sending a pm requires a minimum of 10 posts. Thanks.

NAME
break, continue - shell built-in functions to escape from or advance within a controlling while, for, foreach, or until loop SYNOPSIS
sh break [n] continue [n] csh break continue ksh *break [n] *continue [n] DESCRIPTION
sh The break utility exits from the enclosing for or while loop, if any. If n is specified, break n levels. The continue utility resumes the next iteration of the enclosing for or while loop. If n is specified, resume at the n-th enclosing loop. csh The break utility resumes execution after the end of the nearest enclosing foreach or while loop. The remaining commands on the current line are executed. This allows multilevel breaks to be written as a list of break commands, all on one line. The continue utility continues execution of the next iteration of the nearest enclosing while or foreach loop. ksh The break utility exits from the enclosed for, while, until, or select loop, if any. If n is specified, then break n levels. If n is greater than the number of enclosing loops, the outermost enclosing loop shall be exited. The continue utility resumes the next iteration of the enclosed for, while, until, or select loop. If n is specified then resume at the n- th enclosed loop. If n is greater than the number of enclosing loops, the outermost enclosing loop shall be used. On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways: 1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes. 2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments. 3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort. 4. Words that follow a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment are expanded with the same rules as a vari- able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign, and also that word splitting and file name genera- tion are not performed. ATTRIBUTES
