UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi Geeks,

I am relatively new to Unix. Trying out to achive a shell script by hard learning. Here is my requirment.

1. I have to search for specified strings that are given in .csv file in the directory to find the files for matching strings in the .csv file.

2. If match is found, copy that file to another directory with renaming the copied file with the matched string appended to the file name.

The below script reads the file file3.csv succesfully and finds the matching keys in the entire directory, and also copies the file to Target directory.

I am not sure how to rename the file in target directory appending the file name with matching string once the file is copied.

Code:

set -A array $(</infa/frs/dev/data/SrcFiles/New/file3.csv)
 
typeset -i i=0;
 
while (( i < ${#array[*]} ))
 
do
 
grep -R ${array[$i]} /infa/frs/dev/data/SrcFiles/New/ |cp `cut -d ":" -f 1` /infa/frs/dev/data/SrcFiles/New/Target/
 
(( i+= 1))
 
done

Any kind of suggestion/help is very much apprecited.

Regards

See if this works for you:

Code:

for mStr in $(</infa/frs/dev/data/SrcFiles/New/file3.csv); do
  for mFName in $(grep -R ${array[$i]} /infa/frs/dev/data/SrcFiles/New/ | cp `cut -d ":" -f 1`); do
    mNewFName='/infa/frs/dev/data/SrcFiles/New/Target/'${mFName}${mStr}
    cp ${mFName} ${mNewFName}
  done
done
