Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,
I have three strings:

BusinessService=one
BusinessService1=two
BusinessService_test=three

If I user awk command, the out put will be all these. Actually am searching for "BusinessService" only.
Can we do exact awk command.
And the same tiem ,I cant user grep also. Because i need to print some column from the string.

Ex:
If i search "BusinessService" I need to print "one"
"BusinessService_test" --> Print "three".. Like that.

Please help on this....

Thanks,
Chelladurai.

put all your strings in file called A, then run this :

Code:

root@linux [~]# cat A |grep BusinessService= |awk -F"=" '{print $2}'
one
root@linux [~]#

you can use this bash script to do it without you need to write all these commands each time:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
file=$1
search=$2
grep $2= $file |awk -F"=" '{print $2}'

then use it like this:

Code:

root@linux [~]# ./searchscript stringsfile BusinessService_test
three
root@linux [~]#

Code:

$ awk -F= '/BusinessService=/ {print $2}' infile
one

Hi, thanks for you reply..

This is my code:
rm newnames.txt
cd ear;
count=`ls *.ear |wc -l`
echo "Count is : $count"
ls *.ear |cut -d "." -f1>ear_names.txt
mv ear_names.txt ./../
cd ..
while read line
do
echo "val1:"$line
grep $line= names.txt >>newnames.txt
grep $line= | awk -F"=" '{print $2}' newnames.txt>>chells.txt
#tempvar1=`awk -F"=" '{print $2}' newnames.txt`:wq
echo "$tempvar1"
done<ear_names.txt


this is the filenames and content:
names:
BillingManagementServices_tst1=cow
BillingManagementServices_tst=peacock
BillingManagementServices=dog
ear_names:
BillingManagementServices_tst1
BillingManagementServices_tst
newnames:
BillingManagementServices_tst1=cow.


I have tried with the syntax. But its working for first iteration only. Not second and third..

Thanks

you have syntax error inside this line :

Code:

 grep $line= | awk -F"=" '{print $2}' newnames.txt>>chells.txt

you need to change it to :

Code:

grep $line= newnames.txt | awk -F"=" '{print $2}' >>chells.txt
