Unix details : HP Unix

Input file.
Code:
cat input.txt | tail -4
HTS40002.W1978.PROM
HTS40003.W1978.PROM
HTS40004.W1978.ADUS
HTS40003.W1978.PROM
HTS40004.W1978.ADUS


Code:
#!/bin/ksh
for i in `cat input.txt`;do
echo $i
if [ grep "PROM" $i ]
then

Hello Arun,

You need to check if word is present in complete file or not, following may help you in same then.
Code:
awk '{if($0 ~ /PROM/){A=1};if($0 ~ /ADUS/){B=1}} END{if(A){print "PROM found in file."} else {print "PROM NOT found."};if(B){print "ADUS found in file."} else {print "ADUS NOT found in file."};if(!A && !B){print "BOTH ADUS and PROM coulndnopt find in input file."}}'  Input_file

Following is output, I have used input_file as per your sample provided.
Code:
PROM found in file.
ADUS found in file.

On a Solaris/SunOS system, change awkto /usr/xpg4/bin/awk , /usr/xpg6/bin/awk , or nawk.


Thanks,
R. Singh

You don't give enough details about what your script is supposed to do for anyone but you to say whether or not it is correct.

You should learn to indent your code so that the structure of your script is easy to see. Putting all of your code at the left margin makes it hard to see where loops start and end, where if statements start and end, etc.

Using:
Code:
for i in `cat file`
do	if ...
	then	echo ...
	elif ...
	then	echo ...
	fi
done

is almost always better written using:
Code:
while read -r i
do	...
done < file

If input.txt contains a list of filenames and you are trying to determine whether or not text in each of those files contain the string PROM and, if not, if each of those files contain the string ADUS, your script might be correct.

If you are trying to determine whether or not each line in input.txt ends with the string PROM or the string ADUS, that is NOT what your script does.

hi ravinder,

Thanks for your help. Is there any possibilty to check using the grep statement.

---------- Post updated at 04:26 AM ---------- Previous update was at 02:59 AM ----------

I have tried for the below requirement. But i am not sure whether i am coding in right away. it would be great if you could help me on this.

Requirement is it should read the below text file and check the below path whether the file is exist or not.
Code:
Check :
PROM words is present in the input it should be checked in loki direcory whether the file is exist.
ADJUS words is present in the input it should be checked in loki direcory whether the file is exist.
 *PROM* /retail/market/loki/W1978 
 *ADUS* /retail/market/sali/W1978


Input file :
Code:
cat input.txt | tail -4
HTS40002.W1978.PROM
HTS40003.W1978.PROM
HTS40004.W1978.ADUS
HTS40003.W1978.PROM
HTS40004.W1978.ADUS

I have to repeat what Don Cragun said: We cannot deduce what you need from what you say. Does the file "input.txt" contain file names to be found in a to-be-named directory? Should the files from "input.txt" in that unknown directory be checked for certain words? Which words? Or do you want to check the sheer existence of the file named in "input.txt"?

I have the tried the below code for my requirment.

Need to read the file name from the input.txt and check whether the file exist in the below directory.

Code:
cat input.txt | tail -4
HTS40002.W1978.PROM
HTS40003.W1978.PROM
HTS40004.W1978.ADUS
HTS40003.W1978.PROM
HTS40004.W1978.ADUS
HTS40004.W1978.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

grep 'PROM' projection.txt > prom.txt
grep 'ADUS' projection.txt >adus.txt
egrep -v 'PROM|ADUS' project.txt > none.txt
count=`cat project.txt | head -1 > pro.txt`
week=`awk '{print $3}' pro.txt`
input=w$week
echo $week

while read -r i
do
echo $i
if [ -s /retail/market/sali/$input/$i ]
then
echo " files is availbale"
else
echo " not available"
fi
done < prom.txt

while read -r i
do
echo $i
if [ -s /retail/market/sali/usmf/$input/$i ]
then
echo " files is availbale"
else
echo " not available"
fi
done < adus.txt

Hello aurn,

Following may help you in same.
Code:
###One liner form:
while read line; do ZERO=0; ls -l $line > /dev/null 2>&1; if [[ $? -eq $ZERO ]]; then echo "File named $line found."; else echo "File named $line NOT found."; fi; done < "Input_file"
  
OR
### NON one liner form:
while read line
do
    ZERO=0
    ls -l $line > /dev/null 2>&1
    if [[ $? -eq $ZERO ]]
    then
      echo "File named $line found."
    else
   echo "File named $line NOT found."
    fi
done < "check1213"

Output will be as follows.
Code:
File named HTS40002.W1978.PROM found.
File named HTS40003.W1978.PROM NOT found.
File named HTS40004.W1978.ADUS found.
File named HTS40003.W1978.PROp NOT found.
File named HTS40004.W1978.ADUS found.
File named HTS40004.W1978.PDnm NOT found.
File named HTS40002.W1978.PRjk NOT found.
File named HTS40003.W1978.PRyu NOT found.
File named HTS40004.W1978.ADdf NOT found.
File named HTS40003.W1978.PRqw found.
File named HTS40004.W1978.ADrt NOT found.
File named HTS40004.W1978.PDDT found.

NOTE: Input file used is as follows: Also I have placed script in same path where I need to look for files, if you want to setup script somewhere else then with ls command you can add complete path. Also I have created files named HTS40004.W1978.PDDT, HTS40003.W1978.PRqw, HTS40004.W1978.ADUS, HTS40002.W1978.PROM.
Code:
 cat check1213
HTS40002.W1978.PROM
HTS40003.W1978.PROM
HTS40004.W1978.ADUS
HTS40003.W1978.PROp
HTS40004.W1978.ADUS
HTS40004.W1978.PDnm
HTS40002.W1978.PRjk
HTS40003.W1978.PRyu
HTS40004.W1978.ADdf
HTS40003.W1978.PRqw
HTS40004.W1978.ADrt
HTS40004.W1978.PDDT

Thanks,
