Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

I have two different files like this

First File (information file)
# agent.properties
xpm.Location=30000
# logger.properties
xpm.logger.LogLevel=INFO
xpm.logger.NumberOfFiles=5
xpm.logger.MaxFileSize=1MB
# logger.properties
logger.LogLevel=INFO
logger.max_backup_index=5
logger.MaxFileSize=1MB

second file (file name is logger.properties)

xpm.logger.LogLevel=
xpm.logger.NumberOfFiles=5
xpm.logger.MaxFileSize=

Now the question is how can I read the first file to get the value of INFO
from xpm.logger.LogLevel=INFO and update that value in second file where xpm.logger.LogLevel= is present.

Could anyone help me with this..!

Thanks in advance

Code:

nawk '{
if (NR==FNR){
	if ($0 ~ /\=/){
		split($0,arr,"=")
		_[arr[1]]=arr[2]
	}
}
else{
	split($0,brr,"=")
	print brr[1]"="_[brr[1]]
}
}' info.txt logger.properties

Code:

INFO=`grep "^xpm.logger.LogLevel=" informationfile | cut -d= -f1`
sed "s/xpm.logger.LogLevel=/&$INFO/g" logger.properties > logger.properties.tmp; mv logger.properties.tmp logger.properties

Thank you very much angheloko ,
it worked fine.and still has some problem.

i executed your code just by changing f1 to f2

#!/bin/sh
INFO=`grep "^xpm.logger.LogLevel=" informationfile | cut -d= -f2`
sed "s/xpm.logger.LogLevel=/&$INFO/g" logger.properties > logger.properties.tmp;
mv logger.properties.tmp logger.properties

but now output is perfect for the first time..and lokks like what i need

this is my information file

# agent.properties
xpm.Location=30000
# logger.properties
xpm.logger.LogLevel=INF2O
xpm.logger.NumberOfFiles=5
xpm.logger.MaxFileSize=1MB
# logger.properties
logger.LogLevel=INFO
logger.max_backup_index=5
logger.MaxFileSize=1MB

this is my logger.properties

xpm.logger.LogLevel=INF2O
xpm.logger.NumberOfFiles=5
xpm.logger.MaxFileSize=

But now , next time if i am exexuting the same script then
i get out put like this

xpm.logger.LogLevel=INF2OINF2O
xpm.logger.NumberOfFiles=5
xpm.logger.MaxFileSize=

it is appending to the existing value...but i should have the same output as the first one..

thanks for ur help..

sed "s/xpm.logger.LogLevel=.*/xpm.logger.LogLevel=$INFO/g" logger.properties > logger.properties.tmp;
mv logger.properties.tmp logger.properties
