Question Searching String from set of similar File pattern from the Dir
Guys,

Here is the script that searches string from the set of similar files from the log directory, All the file patterns are defined as input file, from where the script should map to those files in the LOG_DIR and should start searching the strings from all those similar files.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
#
#

# Script name without path

BASENAME=${0##*/}

#Default Config & Log Path

myLocation=/home/user1
myInst=${HOME}/config/application.lst
myLog="/logs/production/application/log"
myString="${HOME}/config/string

#Main Script

echo "Please, enter log file name pattern for SEARCH: "

#File Transformation

read -r $myInst

if [ ! -f "${myLog}" ]
then
        echo "Invalid log file. It does not exist."
        exit 1
fi

#Searching the Pattern

for ${myInst} in ${myLog}
do
        echo "searching for the search pattern in the file $myInst"
        while read mLine
        do
                echo "Searching for the line :-- $mLine"
                egrep '' "${mLine}"'' "${myInst}"
        done <<EOF > "${myString}"
done

And the content of the $myInst is something like this

Code:
cat ${HOME}/config/application.lst
