It looks like that is from the contents of $Z. How does $Z get defined?

Hi Peterro,

The Z variable is defined as:-
Z=`find $OFFERING_FILE_PATH/$z | xargs grep $i`

Thanks for coming to help again

Ok, what is $i? Is this script really large, or would it be appropriate to post all of it here? What I'm trying to get at is that if you can just gather the data you want, the output won't look so bad. From what I see so far, it looks like your getting too much of something (blank lines) when defining variables.

Code:
 else
 $ECHO ""

Old 08-10-2009
Sure,
There is no problem posting it here:-

Code:
#!/bin/sh

ECHO=/bin/echo
CAT=/bin/cat
LS=/bin/ls
AWK=/bin/awk
GREP=/bin/grep

FIX_XML_PATH=/home/administrator/testfix/fix
FIX_FILE=`$LS $FIX_XML_PATH | $GREP xml`
OFFERING_FILE_PATH=/home/administrator/testfix/install/*.offering
OFFERING_FILE=`$LS $OFFERING_FILE_PATH | $GREP assembly`

Y=`$CAT $FIX_XML_PATH/$FIX_FILE | $GREP id | $AWK '{if($2 ~ /id=/) pri
nt $2}' | $AWK -F"'" '$1 == "id=" {print $2}'`

for i in $Y
do
 $ECHO "Words to be searched:" $i
 for z in $OFFERING_FILE
  do
   #$ECHO "The Path is:" $OFFERING_FILE_PATH/$z
   #Z=`find $OFFERING_FILE_PATH/$z -exec grep  $i {} \;`
   Z=`find $OFFERING_FILE_PATH/$z | xargs grep $i`

   if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
   $ECHO "The Path is:" $OFFERING_FILE_PATH/$z
   $ECHO $Z
   else
   $ECHO ""
   fi

  done

Yup, I think malcomex999 has the answer. Change the
Code:
echo ""

to
Code:
echo "this line intentionally left blank"

and see what you get.
