Copy the content from txt file and create a html file
I have a txt file with a list of error messages in a xml tag format, and each error message is separated with a identifier(endresult).Need to split that and copy and create a new html file.Error message has some special character. how to escape the special character and insert my data into the file
Tried the below code
Code:
readsrror=`cat newfile.txt`
 echo "<html>" >>email.html
 echo "<body>" >>email.html
for i in $(echo $readsrror| sed "s/endresult/ /g")
do
    echo "<tr>" >>email.html
    echo "$i" >>email.html# only the tag is getting copied not the entire content.
    echo  "</tr>" >>email.html
done
echo "</body>" >>email.html
 echo "</html>" >>email.html

When copying the content to another file only single words gets copied. Not sure if I need to escape the special characters before copying

$(echo "$readsrror" |

Thanks nezabudka , but these commands copy the entire content to my file in <tr> row,but I need to split the content from my base file and iterate through and copy each content into a <tr> tag.
Eg: Something like the below
Code:
read file
Split based on value <end>
for i to splitcount
<tr> $i</tr>
done

output:
Code:
<tr> errormessga [object not found :line 30 ]</tr>
<tr> Null pointer exceptions [no value available for the input :name ]</tr>

May be so, sorry I don't quite understand
Code:
awk 'BEGIN {print "<body><html>\n<tr>"}; FNR == 1 && NR != 1 {print "</tr>\n<tr>"} END {print "</tr>\n</body></html>"} 1' $(<splitfile.txt)
