Hello,
It's not, nor a school class project nor a homework item.
I'm a scripting self-didact for my job.
It is necessary that I start at the beginning. I learn by example.
Like building a house, brick by brick, I build my script.
This is a generic script, it may be useful to other people.
In my case, I use it to retrieve a piece of log, that's why I put the following parameters: start time, end time, date etc.
Instead of the function f1, you can put your own function.
To be clearer, my function f1 is a simple echo " ". Here, the main problem is how do i do to control the parameters which i put in the input file ?
Thank you for your help.

Would you mind to present - in plain words - what the target of your script is?
I would like my function f1 detect that in the fifth line, the first parameter is an error. And the script must return 'bad argument".
If it can return "The 1st argument in the $line is wrong" it would be better. But perhaps this is asking too much.
Alone, I turn around. With you, I learn faster.
Sorry for my broken English.
Thanks you

For the function in magenta, do you want to test arg1 (a global variable inherited from the main, not necessarily set), or $1 (the first parameter in the function call). If $1, try
Still you did not answer my question for an overall description in plain english: I can see that one of the goals is a file consisting of two comment lines, and then data lines starting with [dqpf]ora. But the several starting points, those that you are coming from, are highly obscured. Coming back to your brick laying example, it's wise to start with the fundament, but my impression from your fundament is your building will be a maze.

bad argument
It's OK for the first parameter [dqpf]ora ] Can we put the line number ?
For the others parameters, i tried to test them in vain.
Again, be aware that arg n may NOT be set!
Add this to your f1 function for testing the other parameters:
Code:
[[ "$2" -ge "0" && "$2" -le "23" ]] && echo \$2 is good || echo \$2 is bad
[[ "$3" -ge "0" && "$3" -le "59" ]] && echo \$3 is good || echo \$3 is bad
[[ "$4" =~ [0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2} ]] && echo \$4 is good || echo \$4 is bad
$ ./test a 1 34 2013-03-03
$2 is good
$3 is good
$4 is good
$ ./test a 24 69 201-03-03
$2 is bad
$3 is bad
$4 is bad

Why, then, do you call f1 like you do: f1 $arg1 $arg2 $arg3 $arg4

Put this into your f1 function:
Code:
echo -n "line $5: \$1 is "; [[ "$1" =~ [dqpf]ora ]] && echo good || echo bad
echo -n "line $5: \$2 is "; [[ "$2" -ge "0" && "$2" -le "23" ]] && echo good || echo bad
echo -n "line $5: \$3 is "; [[ "$3" -ge "0" && "$3" -le "59" ]] && echo good || echo bad
echo -n "line $5: \$4 is "; [[ "$4" =~ [0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2} ]] && echo good || echo bad
and call it like
Code:
$ while read a1 a2 a3 a4; do f1 $a1 $a2 $a3 $a4 $((++line)); done < file
line 1: $1 is good
line 1: $2 is good
line 1: $3 is good
line 1: $4 is good
line 2: $1 is good
line 2: $2 is good
line 2: $3 is bad
line 2: $4 is good
line 3: $1 is good
line 3: $2 is bad
line 3: $3 is good
line 3: $4 is good
line 4: $1 is bad
line 4: $2 is good
line 4: $3 is good
line 4: $4 is good
Be aware that your greping out comments will render the line no. incorrect, so you need to take action there. I guess, from the course of this thread, it will be us who need to take the action...
