Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello Experts,

Can anybody assist me in writing a code to do the following:

I have a file present in the same directory from where this cod would run. The content of the file would be as below:

Config Filename: config_details.txt
Format:
Server_prefix,IP_of_server,username, password, directory_path, file_name
Example:

Code:

S1,127.0.0.1,xyz_user1,xyz_password1, /home/xyz1/logs/,error.log
S2,127.0.0.1,xyz_user2,xyz_password2, /home/xyz2/logs/,error.log

There are other steps involved in this script which I have managed to do already. I can read from the file using below code. But I cannot read the variables e.g.server name or username etc from the file. It is either full line or nothing.

Code:

while read line; do echo $line; done > config_details.txt

Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks
Chetan

Looks like you want to write a shell script; for which shell? e.g. bash or ksh allow to read individual variables from a line in a file, and, on top, to define the field separator, in your above case a comma.
But, most importantly, you should redirect the stdin file descriptor using < , NOT the stdout fd like you do.
