If we start from my script in post #32 in this thread:
#!/bin/ksh
bad_found=0
dir='/files05/home/chgtprd/MXS/inb/CHTR/FTR/9/'

Hello daveaztig14,

A simple way could be put all the directories information into a Input_file and you could read it from there like for an example as follows.

cat Input_file...

The directories you are searching, the strings you are matching, the names of the files you are processing in the directories you are searching, and the shell you are using seems to change with every...

You stated twice you were using ksh but the sample script posted here is using the legacy bourne shell /bin/sh which you should never use.

You'd rather start your scripts with one of:

Don, grep -q ... is not portable, and if ! does not work in a Bourne shell.
Instead one needs grep ... >/dev/null,
and one of the following workarounds

What you have shown us is that there are four lines in each of the files:
VZW997.03.26.2010:06:10:12.000

Hello daveaztig14,

Could you please try following and let me know if this helps.

Please take one step at a time. What you presented in post#16 is NOT the directories from post#12. Use full absolute paths for a test, i.e. paths rooted at / and not using variables to be...

OK, no bashisms. What happens if you create a dave.cfg file in your home directory containing

What's your shell?

And: No PM please for technical questions/data.

That is not what grep -v BRE file... does. That grep command gives you a list of every line in each of the given file operands that does NOT contain a string matching the basic regular expression...

Hello daveaztig14,

You requirement is not clear but if you want to read/print the file's content on standard output in a specific directory then following may help you in same.

So you corrected the most obvious errors in your script, which is good. You are "open for other codes and scripts", which is good, too. Did you consider the "loop advice"?

We still don't know what...

So, where do we start? Being an electronics engineer, is the assumption correct that you know what a specification is? Loosely phrased, the description of a target (contents, shape, structure,...

You failed to mention which shell you are using. With a not too old bash that has extended pattern matching with the extglob shell option, and a config file with directory and keyword in it...

And, keyword always the same as the directory name? Should the search respect case or not?
Where should the config file reside?

Could you post an example of your config data, or are you happy with any (new) structure of config file(s)?
Any subdirectories under e.g. /home/banana?

I hope this is not coursework/homework.
And I assume that you want to check the file names (not the file data)
basedir=/home
log=$basedir/dummyevents.log

Not sure if I understood correctly. Let me paraphrase:
You have a handful of directories with some files in each. You want to check if those files have exactly ONE keyword in them, each directory...
