Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello All,

I am writing a shell script in which I am reading from a .csv file.
I am capturing the data of the .csv file into variable. Now after doing some manipulation on those variables I want to write these variables to another .csv file.

I have achieved the part of
1) reading from .csv file
2) doing manipulations and arriving at variables such as ccypair,optiontype etc.

I would like to know how to write these variables in a .csv file (comma seperated) as a row.

Please suggest.

Thanks & Regards

Basically you want to print the variable to the file, which you can do by any method.

Code:

echo $var > $file

Or if the file is printing only the var, then redirect the output to the file.

That will overwrite the file, try

Code:

echo $var >> $file

...which will append.

I would think you'd need to include the commas, though I may be wrong.

Code:

str=$var1","$var2","$var3","$var4
echo $str >> $file

I don't have access to a shell right now to test that. Anyone?

Well, of course. This isn't rocket science.
