UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I am working on an shell script which checks for all the file starting with abc*.*
and if file found then the filelines need to append the file name in begining


can some one help with the filename appending...


for i in `ls $filename*.csv`
do
echo $i
--- NEED to append file name befor calling the loader
sqlldr
#mv $i $destdir/
done
exit 0

something like

Code:

for i in `ls $filename*.csv`
do
echo $i
--- NEED to append file name befor calling the loader
sqlldr
#NOTE: almost pseudocode
mv $i tmpfile
echo "$i" > $i
cat tmpfile >> $i
rm tmpfile
#mv $i $destdir/
done
exit 0

Hitori,
it does not replace the file name to all the lines in the file

You want to append filename to each line in the file? Pipe the output of your program:

Code:

script | sed "s/^/$i: /" >> $i
