help needed in using case statement
Hi,

I have a script as below:
.......................................................................
rpttxt()
{
name="$*"
awk '/'"${name}"'/ {print $2$3$4 }' file_1.txt
}

title="`rpttxt "TITLE"`"
.........................................................................
The function , rpttext will have arguments that are in the file file_1 and file_2.
The above script searches in file_1 and prints.But I need to use the same function "rpttext" to search in file_1 and file_2 and print accordingly. Its somewaht like below.

file_1 contains :
arg1 abd hju jkl
arg2 nju ghy frg

file_2 contains:
arg3 hju nhy lmd
arg4 rft sed wed

when I call rpttext "arg1" ,
name="$*"
{ if name in file_1 then
print $2 $3
if name in file_2 then
print $3$4

}

can i do this using case statemnt ?


Thanks in advance

MSSQL_FREE_STATEMENT(3) 												   MSSQL_FREE_STATEMENT(3)

mssql_free_statement - Free statement memory

SYNOPSIS

       bool mssql_free_statement (resource  $stmt)

DESCRIPTION

       mssql_free_statement(3)	only needs to be called if you are worried about using too much memory while your script is running. All statement
       memory will automatically be freed when the script ends. You may call mssql_free_statement(3) with the statement identifier as an  argument
       and the associated statement memory will be freed.

PARAMETERS

	      o $stmt
		- Statement resource, obtained with mssql_init(3).

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      mssql_free_statement(3) example

	      <?php
	      // Create a new statement
	      $stmt = mssql_init('test');

	      // Bind values here and execute the statement

	      // once we're done, we clear it from the memory
	      // using mssql_free_statement like so:
	      mssql_free_statement($stmt);
	      ?>
