Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

i have this code :

awk -v s=string_to_find 'BEGIN{
n=""

}
{
if ($0 ~ /FEATURE TESTED /)
{
n=$0
}
if (index($0,s)!=0)
{
if (n!="")
print n
n==""
}
}' $file1 > $file2

sed 's/$ ###### FEATURE TESTED : "//' $file2 > $file3
sed 's/"//' $file3 > $file


this code will have as input the string s and the file1, i will get at the end in file a variable correspondant to the string i enter to search.

i want to create i function with this code as parameter the string "s" and i get a the end the variable in file.

what are the parameter i must use in this function and have u and idea how can return only the variable printed in file.

thanks

Give an example of the inputfile (file1) and the the desired output.

Regards

A simply way:

Code:

grep "FEATURE TESTED" ${file1} |grep "string_to_find"|sed 's/ ###### FEATURE TESTED : "//'|while read var
do
echo "${var}"
done>${file}

file1 is standard file and countain many FEATURE TESTED,

what i need is to put this code as a function and after that i will call this function when i need to find a variable.

i need to do it as function .

thanks

Code:

search ()
{
grep "$3" $1 |grep "FEATURE TESTED"|sed 's/ ###### FEATURE TESTED : "//'|while read var
do
echo "${var}"
done>"$2"
}

search "file1" "file" "string_to_find"
