Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello,

I am working on building a script that does the below actions together in my Linux server.

1) First, have to read the list of strings mentioned in CSV and store it in the shell script

2) Second, pick one by one from the string list, and search a particular folder for files that contains that particular string.

3) Copy those files to another folder and rename them, ending with the string used for search inorder to identify.

CSV file format
String1
String2
String3
.
.
.
.
etc

I have listed below the script that i have come up so far and need to make it dynamic.

Script

Code:

#!/bin/sh

source_folder="/home/search/files/"
target_folder="/home/search/result/"
search_string="String1"
find $source_folder -exec grep -l $search_string {} \; -exec cp {} $target_folder \;

Any help in regard to this is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How about something like this:

Code:

SRC=/home/search/files/
DEST=/home/search/result/
find $SRC -print | while read file
do
     DPATH=`echo $file | sed "s:$SRC:$DEST:"`
     DDIR=`dirname $DPATH`
     while read string
     do
         grep -qi $string $file && {
             mkdir -p $DDIR
             echo Copying $file to ${DPATH}_${string}
             cp -p $file ${DPATH}_${string}
         }
     done < /home/search/search.csv
done

This works great.

But one more thing i missed to mention it clearly in my earlier post, the file name has to be renamed as below,

actual file name = file1.txt
search string = string1

The file should be renamed as file1_string1.txt

Could you please help with this.
