As a matter a fact, yes! This is what I get -exactly- :
Code:
_folderlist.txt
_folderlist.txt
_folderlist.txt
_folderlist.txt
_folderlist.txt
_folderlist.txt
_folderlist.txt
_folderlist.txt
_folderlist.txt
_folderlist.txt
_folderlist.txt
_folderlist.txt
_folderlist.txt
_folderlist.txt
_folderlist.txt
_folderlist.txt
_folderlist.txt
_folderlist.txt
_folderlist.txt
_folderlist.txt
_folderlist.txt

I guess for each IP it finds it gives a _folderlist.txt output... (?)

btw, I already have this piece of code that gives me the IP's back

HTML Code:
ftp -n -v immserv1.xx.xx.be << EOT
ascii
user UN password
prompt
cd BACKUP
get ftpservers.txt
ls
EOT
iplist=$(sed -n 1~3p ftpservers.txt)
for LINE in $iplist; do

     echo "$LINE"
#     ping -c 1 $LINE

done
This is step one. Next step is to display the folders that match with the IP's _folderlist. I've added a printscreen.

That's why I'm confused, this is the ouput I get:

Code:
$ cat file
80.xx.xx.76
ftpmac28
passO#lanL
212.xx.xx.52
ftpmac28
passO#lanL
212.xx.xx.61
ftpmac28
passO#lanL
212.xx.xx.62
ftpmac28
passO#lanL
212.xx.xx.17
ftpmac28
passO#lanL
212.xx.xx.10
ftpmac28
passO#lanL
212.xx.xx.75
ftpmac28
passO#lanL
$ awk 'NR%3==1{a[++i]=$0}END{for(f in a){print a[f] "_folderlist.txt"}}' file
212.xx.xx.62_folderlist.txt
212.xx.xx.17_folderlist.txt
212.xx.xx.10_folderlist.txt
212.xx.xx.75_folderlist.txt
80.xx.xx.76_folderlist.txt
212.xx.xx.52_folderlist.txt
212.xx.xx.61_folderlist.txt

Have I missed something?

Code:
awk 'NR%3==1{a[++i]=$0}END{for(f in a){print a[f] "_folderlist.txt"}}' ftpservers.txt

This was in my bash script and the output of it was in my previous post. It would be weird I have a different output?

At the moment I don't have access to the servers, I will try again tomorrow. Can you maybe suggest a bash solution for the second step (concerning the _folderlists)? I will try it next thing tomorrow. Thx in advance

Regards,
Laurens

This should give you the filenames and contents of the files:

Code:
awk 'NR%3==1{a[++i]=$0}END{for(f in a){print a[f];system("cat " a[f] "_folderlist.txt")}}' ftpservers.txt

The output should be like:

Code:
212.124.56.75
docshop.xx.be\files
extranetdocshop.xx.be\files
fleet.xx.be\doccshop\files
212.124.56.76
212.124.56.101
project.xx.be\html\upload
project.xx.be\html\attachement
212.124.56.113

Thanks! I will try that asap and report to you

Darned... It gives me this output for every IP address.
Code:
80.xx.xx.96
_folderlist.txt: No such file or directory
80.xx.xx.146
_folderlist.txt: No such file or directory
212.xx.xx.172
_folderlist.txt: No such file or directory
...etc...

I made a new script with only this inside:
Code:
awk 'NR%3==1{a[++i]=$0}END{for(f in a){print a[f];system("cat " a[f] "_folderlist.txt")}}' ftpservers.txt

EDIT: I found it! There had to be a conversion from a windows txt format to unix txt format first, which I achieved like this
Code:
awk '{ sub("\r$", ""); print }' ftpservers.txt > unixfile.txt
awk 'NR%3==1{a[++i]=$0}END{for(f in a){print a[f];system("cat " a[f] "_folderlist.txt")}}' unixfile.txt

Now I would need something like an IF clause, if there is a folderlist I have to transfer the files via FTP. What isn't a problem, it's only the if clause...

Thanks!
Laurens

Really weird, I've tested this command on a Debian and on a HP Unix system , it works properly on both systems with an echo command so it should work with a cat command. With the given input file I get this:
Code:
$ awk 'NR%3==1{a[++i]=$0}END{for(f in a){print a[f];system("echo " a[f] "_folderlist.txt")}}' file
212.xx.xx.52
212.xx.xx.52_folderlist.txt
212.xx.xx.61
212.xx.xx.61_folderlist.txt
212.xx.xx.62
212.xx.xx.62_folderlist.txt
212.xx.xx.17
212.xx.xx.17_folderlist.txt
212.xx.xx.10
212.xx.xx.10_folderlist.txt
212.xx.xx.75
212.xx.xx.75_folderlist.txt
80.xx.xx.76
80.xx.xx.76_folderlist.txt
