please reply

Please help

Please put code inside [code] tags.

That will fail if any lines contain spaces (as is very likely in a passwd file).

Code:

xargs grep -E -f users.dat /dev/null < passwdfile |
 while IFS-: read file line
 do
   printf "%s|%s\n" "$line" "$file"
 done

Sir,

I have more than 100 /etc/passwd files of different servers and all the names are in file named "passwdfile"

I think the code you wrote is assuming "passwdfile" as one file /etc/passwd.

I am getting errors.

can you please help me with this.

Code Used:

Code:

xargs egrep  -f users.dat /dev/null < passwdfile |
 while IFS-: read file line
 do
   printf "%s|%s\n" "$line" "$file"
 done

I am getting the following error: I modified grep -E with egrep.
I am on sun solaris.

Thanks,

Typo (mine); it should be:

Code:

 while IFS=: read file line

Works but misses fields if fields are empty in /etc/passwd files.
$ xargs egrep -f users.dat /dev/null < passwdfile
/etc/server1_etc_passwd:+ABC:::::: ---> password file has empty fields
/etc/server2_etc_passwd:+XYZ:x::::: ---> password file has empty fields

Code:

$cat matchpull.ifs
xargs egrep  -f users.dat /dev/null < passwdfile | 
 while IFS=: read file line
 do
   printf "%s|%s\n" "$line" "$file"
 done

$ ksh matchpull.ifs
+ABC|/var/tmp/collection/secufiles/he2aixp4-1_etc_passwd -->Empty fields missing
+XYZ:x|/var/tmp/collection/secufiles/swcunx01_etc_passwd -->Empty fields missing
If field is not empty its working fine.
