Linux I need Help suggestion for script...
Using the korn shell in ubuntu or fedora, I need to compare two forms, each from different files and do the following, form-1 is the dominant form and must be compared to form-2, if the value in field1 of form-1 matches exactly the pre-filled in value in field1 of form2 then I display 'already set', if the value in field1 of form1 differs from field1 of form2, then value in form1 field1 is written exactly into form2 field1 overwriting anything already in form2 field 1, finally the number of fields in form1 controls the number of comparisons, so if form1 has 10 fields then only the exact same 10 fields of form2 are compared and changed if needed, even if form2 has more fields than form1. thanks in advance for any help with this...Smilie
