Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello People,
I have an outstanding issue with me
I have 5 files at location /usr/abc called

Code:

1.DE 1.TXT
2.DE 2.TXT
3.DE 3.TXT
4.DE 4.TXT
5.Fe.ok

My work involves few manual process like
transfer
1.DE 1.TXT and
5.Fe.ok to
/usr/dob location and run one script(for example - my_script.ksh) which executes both above 2 files. As soon as that is finish, i need to transfer
2.DE 2.TXT AND
5.Fe.ok to /usr/dob location and run one script again.
This process continues until the last file called
4.DE 4.TXT and 5.Fe.ok are not completed.

Here
5.Fe.ok is the common file which need to be transferred all the time.

I want a automated script which will do the above process.

Automated script process -

Transfer
1.DE 1.TXT and
5.Fe.ok to
/usr/dob location from /usr/abc and run my_script.ksh.
If success transfer next set
2.DE 2.TXT AND
5.Fe.ok
and so on.................

If fails throw an ERROR...


Please help...

sorry missed one more thing..
Also if first set fails it should not transfer the second set, it should throw an error and come out of the loop.Same goes on with 2nd 3rd and 4th..

Please state:
What Operating System you have.
What Shell you are using.
What is in the scripts.
What you type to execute those scripts, making it clear which computer you are typing on at the time if there is more than on computer involved.
Any error messages. Please report error messages exactly not just as "error".

Its Linux OS...
Its pure Unix scripting i was talking about...

When you "transfer" what do you actually type?

from /usr/abc prompt i type

Code:

cp 1.DE 1.TXT 5.Fe.ok /usr/dob

Perhaps this is the sort of script you are looking for. Script is untested.
Note that "break" stops the whole process. If you want to try the next pair of files, replace "break" with "continue".

I have assumed that you have a Bourne-type script like "bash".

Code:

for filename in "1.DE 1.TXT" "2.DE 2.TXT" "3.DE 3.TXT" "4.DE 4.TXT"
do
        if [ ! -f "${filename}" ]
        then
                echo "File missing: ${filename}"
                break
        fi
        filename2="5.Fe.ok"
        if [ ! -f "${filename2}" ]
        then
                echo "File missing: ${filename2}"
                break
        fi
        #
        cp "${filename}" /usr/dob
        cp "${filename2}" /usr/dob
        /pathname/my_script.ksh; ERROR=$?
        if [ ! ${ERROR} -eq 0 ]
        then
                echo "Error from /pathname/my_script.ksh"
                break
        fi
done

The above script doesnt work.
What i mean to say is if i execute the above code without

Code:

/pathname/my_script.ksh; ERROR=$?
        if [ ! ${ERROR} -eq 0 ]
        then
                echo "Error from /pathname/my_script.ksh"
                break
        fi

Your script simply transfer all the files 1.DE 1.txt" "2.DE 2.txt" "3.DE 3.txt" "4.DE 4.txt and 1.DE 1.txt" "2.DE 2.txt" "3.DE 3.txt" "4.DE 4.txt to the location 1.DE 1.txt" "2.DE 2.txt" "3.DE 3.txt" "4.DE 4.txt.
I dont want this to happen..
