I am new to UNIX. I have got a requirement. Thought of posting it in this forum so that someone might help me. Please have a look at the scenario.
The Objective is to "classify books into four seperate files and then print a summary report".
Specifications are as follows:-
The books records are stored in one csv file and the layout and the contents are contained in File 1.
There are four categories of books: sports, computing, children's and horror. We should determine the category and then write a series of 3 records to the appropiate file.
The files need to be created in the program and their names will be: children, horror, sports and computing. The format of four files is contained in File 2.
Records which do not belong to any of the above categories should be printed to the screen as an error.
The summary report should be displayed on the screen and will contain the following information:
- Date
- names of files created (including path name)
- total number of boks processed
- total value of books
File 1 - CSV File sample
File 2 - Format of output files
Could anyone give me some idea about how to achieve this requirement as I am a bit new to programming. I would appreciate your help.
Regards,
Yarlagadda.

Thank you so much for your help. I appreciate your help. My requirement is to write the scripting in Shell Scripting. I am not into Pearl scripting. As I said in my first post I am very new to UNIX. So, I am working on Shell scripting at the moment. So, could you please help me in meeting the requirements in Shell scripting instead of Pearl Scripting.
