Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,
I know that I can grep desired data to a file but is there a way to add an additional field of data to the output in addition to what is found. I want to add a login id to the data that is found in the grep. Is this even possible? Thanks for your help.

You can either:
1. use 'sed' to do the searching and modify a found record/line adding whatever you want.
2. use 'awk' to do the same as above
3. pipe the output to 'sed' to modify found records and save to file afterwords.

Posting a sample file and desired output could help as well.

fgrep"${getdate}"${PROCESSOR${LOGINID}/Sum_SCR_Records.${YEAR}.log
> ${results} 2>/dev/null
The above outputs multiple entries for the date desired (same client can have mulitple entries). There are 3 logs for each client. The idea is to consolidate and recap to a report.
The problem is there is no identification to the client so I would like to add the login id.
Thanks.

Sorry, sample below

Log: entries grep by date
Date, Batch, Number of Items, Amount

Result - need to add client

Client, Batch, Number of Items, Amount

You have mis-balanced '{}' combos: I guess the '${PROCESSOR' is missing a trailing '}': '${PROCESSOR}'

How do you derive the client id?

How do you derive 'Client' value?
What happened with the 'Date' column?

Please post a sample data file and a desired output using BB Codes.

Sorry about that - must have happened in my cut and paste of the code.
I know the grep works though. I have all the data consolidated one file (in the script). I am reading (exec) the client directory and searching for the logs for each client.
I did skip the date in the result. - sorry at work and trying to do too many things.
But the end result is the entire record from the log file plus one field (loginid)

thx
