calling script with multiple variables in second script
Hi All,


Just give me an idea on how to do the below logic.

1. I have one master script masterload.sh, the usage of this script is

a. masterload.sh FULL BFLF_LOAD.txt
b. masterload.sh DELTA TDLD_LOAD.txt
c.masterload.sh USER MAS_LOAD.txt

FULL , DELTA ,USER are the varaibles based on this variables inside that particular code will be executed. and the .txt are the source files.

2. Now I am creating one more script mdo_sha.sh(second script) which has to call the masterload.sh and I want to write a loop for the below requirement.

All the BFLF* file names are listed in BFLF.txt
All the TDLD* file names are listed in TDLD.txt
All the MAS* file names are listed in MAS.txt

the second script has to check all these .txt files in the above example and if this files have a value then

it has to do a while loop like iif BFLF.txt has some file names in it then the script has to call the master_load.sh full (and pass the file names one by one from the BFLF.txt)

master_load.sh FULL 1.txt
master_load.sh FULL 2.txt
master_load.sh FULL 3.txt
master_load.sh FULL 4.txt
master_load.sh FULL 5.txt

similarly if TDLD.txt has some value then the script has to call the master_load.sh full (and pass the file names one by one from the TDLD.txt)

master_load.sh DELTA 1.txt
master_load.sh DELTA 2.txt
master_load.sh DELTA 3.txt
master_load.sh DELTA 4.txt

similarly for the thrid one,Pls give some logic on how to implement the same.

Hey Mora,

can you tell what exactly should be you out put.

your second script mdo_sha.sh should call the first script and check in all the three .txt files if some file name exists then it should run (the first script, parameter and the file name)master_load.sh FULL 1.txt.., it should be in a while loop.

Are you expecting this as output?

Regards,
Deepti
