When i checked the count of fields with your input it gives 15.
Check below

Code:
echo "02 00 00 34 41 00 00 70 81" | sed "s/ /,/g;s/00,*//g;s/,$//g" | wc -c

lorcan,
When i ran the script it tells

./testingscript testingdata
cat: cannot open /export/home/niit-dev/Output.txt
The contents of the outFile are
The count_fields is 45
The count_fields is 45
The count_fields is 45
The count_fields is 45
The count_fields is 45
The count_fields is 45
The count_fields is 45
The count_fields is 45
cut: cannot open /export/home/niit-dev/Output.txt
cut: cannot open /export/home/niit-dev/Output.txt
Check the 1 field of the INPUT FILE

My input file is ---
00,11,21,00,00,55,00,73,83,07,00,22,39,43,00,66,00,00,00,15,00,00,44,58,67,00,87
02,14,24,30,00,00,00,70,00,00,00,00,32,47,50,60,74,00,04,16,27,38,00,00,00,00,89
00,00,00,00,42,52,61,71,86,01,00,29,33,00,59,00,75,00,03,19,00,00,45,00,68,00,88
00,13,20,31,00,00,64,76,00,05,00,00,35,41,56,00,00,81,00,00,28,00,00,57,65,79,90
06,10,00,36,40,00,00,00,80,00,12,25,00,00,51,62,72,00,09,00,00,37,49,00,69,00,84

In this the total number of count should be 15,
when i ran with my input file it shows 45 numbers whether it should be 15 because only 15 digits are there leaving all 00.

while what u suggested that only have 5 digits leaving all 00,means that should show 5 numbers only but the input file which u r follwing in that 3 rows make a line for testing purpose so that whole line should have total 15 numbers...

still it shows the same error outFile cannot be opened.
I am also trying to debug but being a novice i am not finding it.
can you try that with the inputfile which i provided.

00 14 20 37 00 53 63 00 00
09 18 23 00 45 00 00 79 00

I have to write a shell script like this...

1. In a row there are 9 entries but there should be exactly 5 entries in a row.
We need to neglect 00 they are just to fill the positions but of no use so ignore them.,

2. In a column there should be minimum 1 entry and if more than that then in ascending order only.
For this req i had written the script. For other it was already complete right. I hope you use two input files one with 9 entries and other as mentioned above

lorcan,
Thanks for the inputs first.
i guess you did not get the requirement fully.

i mentioned clearly that in a row there should be exactly 5 entries and total for ticket it shoud be 15.E.g.

02 00 00 34 41 00 00 70 81
00 14 20 37 00 53 63 00 00
09 18 23 00 45 00 00 79 00

This is a ticket and in a row there should be only 5 entries we should ignore the 00,and totally it should be 15 for a ticket ignoring all 00.Like this(Ticket) there are 200thousand values.

Did you get it?..

This script checks for the 15 tickets in a row and also checks if there are 5 tickets within every 9 columns.

And as a whole i am checking whether there are atleast one ticket in a column and arranged in ascending order.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

inpFile=$1
outFile="$HOME/Output.txt"

tmpFile1="/tmp/sample1.txt"
tmpFile2="/tmp/sample2.txt"
TOTAL_FILEDS=27
COUNT=1
rm -f $outFile
for line in $(cat $inpFile)
do
        count_fields=$(echo $line | sed "s/00,*//g;s/,$//g" | wc -c)
        cnt_flds1=$(echo $line | cut -d',' -f1-9 | sed "s/00,*//g;s/,$//g" | wc -c )
        cnt_flds2=$(echo $line | cut -d',' -f10-18 | sed "s/00,*//g;s/,$//g" | wc -c )
        cnt_flds3=$(echo $line | cut -d',' -f19-27 | sed "s/00,*//g;s/,$//g" | wc -c )
        if [[ $count_fields -eq 45 && $cnt_flds1 -eq 15 && $cnt_flds2 -eq 15 && $cnt_flds3 -eq 15 ]]
        then
                echo $line >> $outFile
        fi
done
if [[ ! -s $outFile ]]
then
        echo "No output file is created!!! Check your input file"
        exit 126
fi
while [[ $COUNT -le $TOTAL_FILEDS ]]
do
        cut -d',' -f$COUNT $outFile | grep -v 00 > $tmpFile1
        cut -d',' -f$COUNT $outFile | grep -v 00 | sort > $tmpFile2
        diff $tmpFile1 $tmpFile2 > /dev/null
        if [[ $? -eq 1 || ! -s $tmpFile1 ]]
        then
                echo "Check the $COUNT field of the INPUT FILE"
                exit 256
        fi
        COUNT=$((COUNT+1))
done
echo "Success.... Check the output in $outFile"
rm -f $tmpFile1 $tmpFile2

lorcan,
thanks for the input.

when i ran the script it is telling

./testingscript testingdata
Check the 1 field of the INPUT FILE

it is not incrementing the COUNT value so it is printing only a single record at a time.

You mentioned ---
This script checks for the 15 tickets in a row and also checks if there are 5 tickets within every 9 columns.

And as a whole i am checking whether there are atleast one ticket in a column and arranged in ascending order.

The first one you mentioned is perfectly fine.

the second line is somewhat like this--
00,11,21,00,00,55,00,73,83,07,00,22,39,43,00,66,00,00,00,15,00,00,44,58,67,00,87

this is one data in a file,it consists of 3 rows and 9 columns.we can break
00,11,21,00,00,55,00,73,83
07,00,22,39,43,00,66,00,00
00,15,00,00,44,58,67,00,87

We need to check in this that each column should have min 1 value and if more than that then it should be in ascending order not as a whole.

Thanks for your kind help.
