Hello,


Code:
for i in 'cat id_key.txt'

Here ' is not single quote ( ' ); instead it should be a back quote ( ` ).

Code:
 
for i in `cat id_key.txt`

Thanks palanisvr - your help is really, really, really appreciated. This will save so many hours of work. Thank you again!

I'm sorry to come back asking for more.

The script works really well if there are 2 XML files in the start_folder directory.

If there is only 1 XML file in the start_folder directory, the script copies the start_folder into each new directory - is there a way to prevent that from happening?

Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks

#Additional condition has been added to make sure script process the files unless there exist two files in the start folder.

Code:
#verify whether files "SearchBoxRN.xml" , "ShoppingHomePG.xml" exist in  "start_folder" Folder...

if [ `ls  ./start_folder/SearchBoxRN.xml |wc -l` -eq 1 -a  `ls  ./start_folder/ShoppingHomePG.xml |wc -l` -eq 1 ] 
then

for i in `cat id_key.txt`
do

#capture the values in the variables
first_bit=`echo $i | awk -F ',' '{print $1}'`
second_bit=`echo $i| awk -F ',' '{print $2}'`
#make sure that variables  are not null
if [ ! -z $first_bit  -a  ! -z $second_bit  ]
then
cp -R  ./start_folder $first_bit
sed s/east_ppl_ppl_por/$second_bit/ ./start_folder/SearchBoxRN.xml > $first_bit/SearchBoxRN.xml
sed s/east_ppl_ppl_por/$second_bit/ ./start_folder/ShoppingHomePG.xml > $first_bit/ShoppingHomePG.xml
fi

done
