I am writing a script and beginner in shell scripting. I have tried the below script. could you please check and let me know whether the below scirpt is correct.
You need to check if word is present in complete file or not, following may help you in same then.
Following is output, I have used input_file as per your sample provided.
On a Solaris/SunOS system, change awkto /usr/xpg4/bin/awk , /usr/xpg6/bin/awk , or nawk.
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:
is almost always better written using:
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.
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"?
Following may help you in same.
Output will be as follows.
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.
Thanks,
