UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

I need a clarification on one of the scripts that i have written, I new to file handling and i need help:

I am trying to find a particular pattern in a file "****** PBX" in set of 5 files named:
xy.cc3
xv.cc3
xx.cc3
xr.cc3
xd.cc3

in a directory. If i find the files starting with these line i need to capture the full line and put it in a log file.

Can anyone help me please

Thanks,
Sandeep

try

grep '^...... PBX' xy.cc3 xv.cc3 xx.cc3 xr.cc3 xd.cc3 >logfile

This will prefix each "extracted-line" with the corresponding file-name

(The '^' character represents the start-of-the-line and each dot ('.') represents one-arbitrary-character, in regular-expresions used in line-identification in commands like grep, egrep, awk, sed, etc.)

thanks it works

I need one more info , I have written the script below with your inputs
---------------------------------------------------------------------
##!/usr/bin/sh -x
##Initialising variables

FROM_DIR=/usr/local/Sandeep_test/santest; export FROM_DIR

PBX_TXT="****** PBX"; export PBX_TXT

cd $FROM_DIR

for file in $FROM_DIR/*.cc3

do

grep '^...... PBX' $file > file_log

cut -c8-40 file_log

done
exit 0
--------------------------------------------------------

The output of the the above script is
Output:

PBX TYPE:san PBX-id: 555
PBX TYPE:san2 PBX-id: 556
PBX TYPE:san3 PBX-id: 557

now i need one more info:How do i catch the above result so that san and 555 are put it in a file ( example: file 1) like the below format:

san,555
san2,556
san3,557

and then comapare this line by line with an another file(example:file 2) that is as below:
san,555
san2,556
san3,558

now after the compare of the file 1 and file 2 it should say that san3,557 is not correct as this is not in file 2

Please help will be very gratefull

Thanks,
Sandeep

Add the following to the cut -c8-40 file-log:

Code:

| sed 's/ PBX-id: /,/' >file-1

and then use either diff or comm (w. file-1 file-2 as its two arguments) in order to see the difference.

cut -c8-40 | sed 's/ PBX-id: /,/' >file-log


added the above and it did not give any result. please help

sorry but this how the output looks from my script. i mistakingly sent the wrong yesterday:

PBX TYPE:IDC4 PBX-id: L14
PBX TYPE:CC3 PBX-id: LC4
PBX TYPE:CC3 PBX-id: LC8
