if line matches then
I have a file that I need to read each line and see if the line begins with a certain keyword. I can't seem to find something that works.
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
#
while read i
do
if [[ $i = ^SE2 ]]
then
echo "SE2 WORKS"
elif [[ $i = ^CISCO1 ]]
then
echo "CISCO1 WORKS"
fi
done < tmp/diff

The file looks something like
Code:
SE1
SE2
CISCO1
CISCO4

Code:
if [[ $i == "SE2" ]]

Code:
cat tmp/diff | while read line
do
        case ${line} in
                "CISCO1"*)      echo "CISCO WORKS"
                        ;;
                "SE2"*)         echo "SE2 WORKS"
                        ;;
        esac
done
