Shell Programming and Scripting

The exit is actually happening, its just that the exit is from the awk and not from your script. If you want to exit from the script, you need to have an additional check:

Code:

Config_Details=("CS_ID" "CS_NAME" "FIELD_SEP" "REC_SEP" "FIELDS_NUM" "FTPS_FILE" "DECSN_FMT_TYPE" "DECSN_FIELDS" "DECSN_SCHDL_TYPE" "DECSN_SCHDL" "DECSN_TIME" "UNIQ_FILE_CONVNS" "DECSN_UNITWS" "OUTBOX_RETN" "MAIL_CONTACTS" "FTPS_DETAILS" ) 
function format_check
{
var=$1
awk -v find=$var ' BEGIN{} { if (match($0,find"=")) 
printf ("%s\n", "present"); 
else printf ("%s%s\n", find, "not present") ; exit 1 ;}' "ll.txt"
if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
   exit 1
fi
}

for i in ${Config_Details[@]}
do
format_check "$i"
done

Sorry, I'm not getting what you are trying to say. I thought that the script had to exit the moment it couldn't find whatever it was supposed to... perhaps you could explain what you wanted in more detail?

sorry blowtorch for late reply,

let my file ll.txt has all records i.e. all the records present in ll.txt which belongs to the search array Config_Details ,
"CS_ID" "CS_NAME" "FIELD_SEP" "REC_SEP" "FIELDS_NUM" "FTPS_FILE" "DECSN_FMT_TYPE" "DECSN_FIELDS" "DECSN_SCHDL_TYPE" "DECSN_SCHDL" "DECSN_TIME" "UNIQ_FILE_CONVNS" "DECSN_UNITWS" "OUTBOX_RETN" "MAIL_CONTACTS" "FTPS_DETAILS"
so if i am going to execute the following awk suggested by you,
function format_check
{
var=$1
awk -v find=$var ' BEGIN{} { if (match($0,find"="))
printf ("%s\n", "present");
else printf ("%s%s\n", find, "not present") ; exit 1 ;}' "ll.txt"
if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
exit 1
fi
}

for i in ${Config_Details[@]}
do
format_check "$i"
done

then it is checking the 1st array as CS_ID is present but rest values are not present and exit from 2nd record onward ....

so my concept is , it would not search the ll.txt if any of the array listed value not present in ll.txt else it should go thru .

hey need help....
