[dips]

Hello All ,

I am learning Shell Script and i am very fresher . I need help to write one shell script .

We are generating several logs files in our testsuite system . I need to generate fails as per the host ,version and productwise .

The data is stored in different directories and run.log contains fails records with ! sign . I am extracting fails from each directory but cant't accumalte as per the product wise . because product name is stored in Master file product.dat.

The product.dat is Master file contains 2 column
Test Name ProductName
/dialy/test SiCat
/daily/yyyy YRS
/daily/ttttt SiCat
/daily/rttttt SiCat
/daily/wwww PSD
/daily/uuuu YRS



The second file which is generated only contain fails test name for whole system .
The data format is like this
/users/test/krachel/9/run.log
! /daily/wwww
! /daily/test1
! /daily/rrrrr
/users/test/limo/10/run.log
! /daily/wwww
! /daily/test1

The host and version i want to extract form line /users/test/

I have store data like this
Host Version SiCat YRS PSD
limo 10 3 3 5
krache 9 5 7 0

Due to the fact of not knowing shell scripting quite good, why do you want to do that with a shell script instead of using sth. like perl, python, php, scripting languages that exists on most *nix installations, that make tasks like this more easy.

A solution is no help.
But you can find all the things you need in perl here: http://perldoc.perl.org/perl.html

Here you can find things about opening files (http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/open.html), how to cycle to its contents.
Split (http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/split.html), subtring (http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/substr.html) will be helpfull for stringmanipulation, in that case.

It is also helpfull to take a look at perldata (http://perldoc.perl.org/perldata.html) for datatypes you could use storing and cumulating your data read from the files.

Um, I'm not sure exactly what you need, but if you are just wanting to extract fields from a file that is easy. For example, if the file is '/users/test/file' and the contents are what you listed above then you would grab the HOST (column 1) and VERSION (column 2) this way:


wdierkes$ cat /users/test/file | awk {' print "HOST: "$1 " VERSION: "$2 '}
HOST: limo VERSION: 10
HOST: krache VERSION: 9



That is just a very simple example. Please feel free to clarify if that doesn't answer your question.
