Hello Prashant,

I can understand that u need to search for something! What is that u exactly want?

A script that searches something? if so, what would be its inputs? what will be the file that u want to search?

Please explain in detail!!

Hello,

There are predefined path and predefined files under that path.
I want to search some string inside that file and if found then proper msg should be displayed.

and i want to do this process based on user and followed by string based files is same for all the user.

Second things i want to implement it based on switch case or let me know if any other option is fine or not?

hope you are geting wt i want to tell u.

thanks

Hey,

Here are ur needs.. Correct me if wrong!

1> Get the username
2> Search a string inside some files
3> If found, display message

Now the problem is
1. Are there multiple files that you would need to search?
2. What is "that string"???

Yes. Switch case is good! no probs!

Hi..
thanks for the same.

There are only two files makefile and makefile.scpd and i need to search predefined string say rms, ams etc inside that files.

Thanks prashant

the below code will take model no and search under that model no a specific word.


echo "Enter model no for searching string inside makefile"
read inputs2
#find /pools/home_unix/sapte/work/models/model/$inputs2 -name "makefile" | xargs grep "attr" \;
#;;

I am getting below error.
./menu1.sh: line 151: syntax error near unexpected token `"Hit <ENTER> to continue:"'
