File format - Path
Hello,

I have configuration files like this one :
Code:
  #tronc_staf# /OPERATIONNEL/SATURNE/PLASMA
   
  #nbr_feuille_par_#branche# acc 21
  #nbr_feuille_par_#branche# arc 21
  #nbr_feuille_par_#branche# glo 21
  #nbr_feuille_par_#branche# glo4 21

So far I have manged to create an interactive script to choose the configutaion file to choose, but I am stuck to create a loop that I could used to get this :
Code:
  /OPERATIONNEL/SATURNE/PLASMA/ACC
  /OPERATIONNEL/SATURNE/PLASMA/ARC
  /OPERATIONNEL/SATURNE/PLASMA/GLO
  /OPERATIONNEL/SATURNE/PLASMA/GLO4

The idea is the use each line given, one by one, inside a specific command line to print the data files inside of each directories.

Thanks for your help

hey can you explain me more clearly what are you expecting?
Code:
  /OPERATIONNEL/SATURNE/PLASMA/ACC
  /OPERATIONNEL/SATURNE/PLASMA/ARC
  /OPERATIONNEL/SATURNE/PLASMA/GLO
  /OPERATIONNEL/SATURNE/PLASMA/GLO4

are all these directories and you want to search these directories automatically and then for each directory selected you want to search for the files inside it.. then find the correct congfiguration file?? ?

Hello,

I am sorry, I sould be more clear on my needs.

in fact I am trying to create a loop that will add the directoy name to the static path :

here is what I am trying to get :

Code:
/OPERATIONNEL/SATURNE/PLASMA/ACC
/OPERATIONNEL/SATURNE/PLASMA/ARC
/OPERATIONNEL/SATURNE/PLASMA/GLO
/OPERATIONNEL/SATURNE/PLASMA/GLO4

all are directories.

I am trying to create a shell script (KSH) that will use configuration file to look at the data's in each directorie.

ok let say :

str = /OPERATIONNEL/SATURNE/PLASMA
brh = ACC ARC GLO

I am trying to write a loop like this :

Code:
for each line in $brh ; do
echo $str/$brh
done

but i am not good enough to make it to work

Thanks

Try this:

Code:
for each line in "$brh"
do
   echo $str/$line
done
