Hi,
I guess i interpreted it wrongly. I thought i need to make it global variable.
It worked, great..Smilie

ummm, I would like to modify this script to do the following
Code:
 PATHNAME=/eos/uscms/store/user/pooja04//analysis2012/525/data/doubleele/2012/datav1/

I want the
Code:
 PATHNAME

to be like some arrray to hole the information of several path so that I can simply get certain information from several of directories together.

Kindly suggest

Thanks again
Pooja

Bug
1) What you can do here is ...
Just create an array ( i don't know how is your directory structure, from your post it look like there is no pattern so we can get those path).
just give paths in a array.
Code:
path[1]="/eos/uscms/store/user/pooja04//analysis2012/525/data/doubleele/2012/datav1/"
path[2]="/eos/uscms/store/user/pooja04//analysis2012/525/data/"

same as how many you want it to add...

Then use array to perform operation on all paths....

Code:
for i in ${path[@])}
do
PATHNAME=${path[$i]}
...
Your Script...
...
done

2) Second option is you can create one file which stores all the paths you want to perform operations and store it somewhere..

And use that file to get the paths for your script..

Code:
$cat Path_file
/eos/uscms/store/user/pooja04//analysis2012/525/data/doubleele
/eos/uscms/store/user/pooja04//analysis2012/525/data/doubleele/2012/datav1/

while read line
do
PATHNAME="$line"
..
Your script..
...
done<Path_file

Hi,
ummm, confusion.
I want $FileName to add the string collected from the different directories. In the given case it would create a separate $FileName every time it will read the PATHNAME[i]..????

Kindly suggest
pooja



Code:
PATHNAME[1]="/eos/uscms/store/user/pooja04//analysis2012/525/data/doubleele/2012/datav1/"
PATHNAME[2]="/eos/uscms/store/user/pooja04//analysis2012/525/data/doubleele/2012/datav4/"

CopyFilesInfo() {
    for j in ${PATHNAME[@]}
      do
      PATHNAME=${path[$i]}
      ls -ltr "$PATHNAME" | grep root | awk '{print string path $9}' string="$CONSTANT" path="$PATHNAME"  > "$FileName"
      echo "FileName are Copied"
    done
}

If you want to copy collected data from all directories to one file only then use >> while adding data...
If $FileName is same for every time then it will create only one file. just add >>

See if you can get something out of the following:
Code:
a[0]="HI"
a[1]="THERE"

for i in "${a[@]}"
do
 echo $i
done

HI
THERE

for i in ${!a[@]}
do
 echo $i
done
