Concatenate strings retrieved from a file and write it into another file
Hi,

I have a file files.txt containing data as below:
Code:
abc;xyz
uvw;pqr
123;456

I want to develop strings like below using the above data and write them into another file:
Code:
www/xxx/abc/yyy/xyz
www/xxx/uvw/yyy/pqr
www/xxx/123/yyy/456

All this needs to be done through .sh file.

Could you please help?
