Shell Programming and Scripting

the problem is that the output of find is beeing interpreted by awk as the text to filter, not the files to open with the text inside.
you have to do something like this

Code:

find . -name '*.txt' | while read line
do
         Gawk -F '\t' '$8 == "HP" || $8 == "IBM" || $8 == "Dell" {print $1, $4, $8 }' $line
done

i try to run this code but didnt work

file name new.sh

#! /usr/bin/bash
find .-name '*.txt' | while read line
do
gawk -F '\t' '$2== "MS2" {print $1, $2}'$line
done < output_file.txt



i am getting this error
$ ./new.sh
./new.sh: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token `done'
./new.sh: line 5: `done '

im not an expert, but i think if you want the text to go out, you need > instad of < (which makes teh text go in)

Also you need a space before $line
