Assiging to a variable after cutting from the input line
Hi all,

I am reading from the file having entries like below
Code:
 
111.ABC.POT
6477.YHT.OIT

Now I need to read each line and cut each line seperated by dot and print into the file .

I tried below and it is not working . Please help
Code:
while read READLINE
do
     eval LINE=${READLINE}
     echo $LINE
     Field5=`echo $LINE|cut -d. -f1`
     echo "${Field1} ,${Field2},${Field3},${Field4},${Field5},${Field6}" > FINAL2.txt
done < FINALFILE.txt

Thanks
DJ

I am slightly confused as to what you are trying to do.

Can you please provide some sample output?

How can you want to cut line separated by dots when your file sample has not cases of such...
As of post#2 What you gave us and explained is far from being clear, especially when you have not given a example of expected output so we can figure out what you ment
I am dubious looking at your code...

Maybe you can set IFS to split the file during reading, then you do not need cut.
For example, read FINAL.txt, echo the new lines, and redirect the whole loop to FINAL2.txt
Code:
while IFS="." read f1 f2 f3
do
  # compose a new line and print it
  echo "$f1.$f2.$f3.$f1"
done < FINAL.txt > FINAL2.txt
