Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,


for i in `cat /tmp/tester.txt`
do
echo $i
done

The content of /tmp/tester.txt is as below

1001,asp
1002,java
1003,vc

Now when I try the above program it gives me a output in the same way as below.

1001,asp
1002,java
1003,vc

I want to read the first row and split the record by comma and work with the two values and then read the second row.

Please do help me ASAP.

Thanks

Here is one way to do it.

Code:

[/tmp]$ cat try
1001,asp
1002,java
1003,vc
[/tmp]$ cat try.sh
#! /bin/sh

while IFS=, read key value
do
    echo "$key"
    echo "$value"
done < try
[/tmp]$ ./try.sh
1001
asp
1002
java
1003
vc
[/tmp]$

another way

Code:

awk -F"," '{print $1,$2}' input.dat
