Indeed - I like this a lot.
This is an excellent approach if the files to be edited have a unique and easily found
insertion point and it is safe to stuff in the change.

Simpler is better.

Use the man pages, Luke.

char *strncat(char *restrict s1, const char *restrict s2, size_t n);

strcat(), strncat(), strlcat()
The strcat() function appends a copy of string s2,...

print $1,$2,$3,$4,$5
for(i=6;i<NF;++i)
printf "%s ", $i;
print $NF;
}

You probably need to spec this a bit better.
It's not clear whether you need help with writing the "dojob.sh" script,
or with taking the subject line and using the information in it to invoke
the...

It's a bit hard to tell without any of the debugging output that this would generate,
but there are a couple of small things to check:

You have this on the second line to create the output file...

I think you need to tell people what aspects of a script you want to review...
and then of course you will have written your own answer.

It's not clear how anyone could do this for you.

$ cat f5
this is a line with ${INSTHOME} in it.
This is not.



$ $ sed 's/${INSTHOME}/a change /' f5
this is a line with a change in it.
This is not.

The smart answer is "no there is no easy way to do this. Edit the files yourself".

However, I took it as a challenge and came up with a solution, such as it is.
It will insert the new code...

You need to evaluate the "name" variable before you can use it that way,
essentially give the shell a chance to process it as though it was typed in.

eval cd $name

Depending on how much you...

You just didn't finish your command.
Every "if" has to have a "fi"
That "mode" with the prompt ">" is telling you that you have not yet finished what you started.

I agree that awk is the tool for this.
It will handle changes in the length of disk names, etc.
better than some other approaches.

Assuming that more than one disk temp is on each input line, ...

I can't say for sure what is wrong, but I can make a guess based on a suspicious construct in the script.

Given this

It seems possible to me that...

To skip (that is, preserve) the other lines, just print them,
making sure that you DON'T do this when you add an "X".


nawk -F, ' NF == 3 { print $0 "X" ; next } {print} ' inputfile

egrep has (and some greps have) an option to read the patterns from a file.

If your OS (like Solaris) provides a mechanism to access
file descriptors as filenames, one can use this to read file...

An English teacher should know better than to punctuate a shell script.
It makes the script fail. If that's not a problem in your original script, then you didn't get off as easily as I had hoped. ...

The only thing that I can see is the period after "done" which will generate an error and stop after the first folder.

Other than that, the code works fine on my Solaris system using sh and ksh ...

We do need to see your code, but I'll take a guess anyway.
It seems likely that you need something like "eval" to evaluate the assignment.
