Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Preventing wildcard expansion in "read" Post 88178 by gaijin 06 on Tuesday 1st of November 2005 07:48:36 PM

Odd.... I tried your example ZB and it also worked for me! Smilie

However when I execute it in the script it is still expanding the * for me... I don't know why. I'll post the entire script in case it is something stupid...

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
#*******************************************************************
#* Date         : 01-Nov-2005
#* Purpose      : To clear up NV trade ref tables, used by STP application
#*******************************************************************

typeset Execdate
typeset -i ErrorFound=0
typeset SQLStatement
typeset InputSQLFile
typeset LogFile

#********************************************************
# Function  : Main
#********************************************************
Main()
{

        #Set up logfile, input file and date

        Execdate=$(date '+%Y%m%d%H%M%S')

        LogFile=/home/fox/foxt/scripts/nv_trade_daily_clearup.log.$Execdate
        echo Info:  NV Trade Daily Clearup Job Start at :$Execdate |tee -a $LogFile

        InputSQLFile=/home/fox/foxt/scripts/nv_trade_daily_clearup.sql
        echo "Info: InputSQLFile is " $InputSQLFile |tee -a $LogFile

        LogFile=/home/fox/foxt/scripts/nv_trade_daily_clearup.log.$Execdate
        echo "Info: LogFile is " $LogFile |tee -a $LogFile


        # Read in one line at a time, execute against DB2 and check for errors

        while read SQLStatement
        do
                echo "Running : " $SQLStatement |tee -a $LogFile
                db2 ${SQLStatement} >> $LogFile

                if      [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then
                        echo "Error: Problem encountered in running: " $SQLStatement
                        exit 1
                fi
        done < $InputSQLFile

        # Clean up logfiles older than 1 week

        echo Info:  NV Trade Daily Clearup Job End  |tee -a $LogFile
        find /home/fox/foxt/scripts -name "nv_trade_daily_clearup.log*" -mtime +7 -exec rm {} \;

        exit 0
}

Main $*

the input file

Code:
connect to OES
set current schema OES
select * from nv_trade


and the output I see

Code:
