2./home/shuchi/destination
3./home/shuchi/filter
now the problem is /home/shuchi/source has say 2 files with extension .txt as given below :
A.txt
Code:
msisdn             | imsi | name | subscription | product | date | recharge type
09311424354 | 09488439820 | ekta | yes | VAS | 2012-12-07 | IVR

09311424354 | 09488439820 | ekta | yes | VAS | 2012-12-07 | IVR

08295708671 | 36267267372 | amita | yes | VAS | 2011-04-05 | IVR

/home/shuchi/filter has one file as below :
msisdn
--------------
Code:
09311424354
09128734473
09487736472
09302117719
08295708671

now on the basis of file present in /home/shuchi/filter i need to have 2 subfiles with the same name as A.txt and B.txt in /home/dstst/destination folder as given below :
A.txt
Code:
msisdn             | imsi | name | subscription | product | date | recharge type
09311424354 | 09488439820 | ekta | yes | VAS | 2012-12-07 | IVR
09128734473 | 83974738734 | priya | no | Non VAS | 2011-08-11 | SMS:o

B.txt
Code:
msisdn             | imsi | name | subscription | product | date | recharge type
09302117719 | 13312353343 | shubhi | no | non VAS | 2011-05-04 | SMS
08295708671 | 36267267372 | amita | yes | VAS | 2011-04-05 | IVR

i have to write a script which will read files present in /home/shuchi/source one by one i.e. A.txt and B.txt and match them with file present in /home/shuchi/filter and on the basis of msisdn and store the result in /home/shuchi/destination directory.I have to use grep or fgrep as some crappy version of unix being used and awk and sed are not supported ............it would be a grttttttttt help...........SmilieSmilieSmilieSmilie

No awk, that's very odd. Assuming you have Kshell or bash, have a go with this. Replace the directory names with yours (I used the ones here to test).

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# change the directory names to be your source, destination and filter
sdir=src     
ddir=dest
fdir=filter

# use find to prevent issues if there are a lot of *.txt files
find $sdir -name "*.txt" | while read file
do
    grep -f $fdir/filter $file >$ddir/${file##*/}
done

You might want to remove the line of dashes from your filter file since that is not a potential pattern in one of your source files you'll waste time with each line in each grep trying to match it.

If you could paste the script you are using it would help. Possibly a typo in the script. You could also try running a grep by hand to see what it yields.

Assuming one of the files that find will list is foo.txt, try running this to see what happens:


Code:
grep -f filter-file-name foo.txt|more

If you see output from this command, then your script likely has a bug. No output could mean that there was nothing in foo.txt to find, or the filter file is wrong.

Hard to say more without seeing your script.

find $sdir -name "*.EDW" | while read file
do

done

above is the script with proper directories for source and destinations...plz plz help me......my manager is at top of my head plz............SmilieSmilieSmilieSmilie

I don't see any problems with your script. You probably should change the double redirection (>>) to a signle (>), but that's not causing the files to be empty.

The only thing I can think of is that you might have trailing blanks and/or tabs in your list of patterns (the filter file: /home/dstst/ekta/xp). Check it to be sure that there isn't any leading or trailing white space (spaces or tabs) as that might be the cause of nothing being found.
