I have a very long pattern file and medium-length text file. I simply want to know if the strings in the pattern file are present or not -- I don't care what line they're on. Is there a way to track which patterns are found and which not?
You can do something like this:
while read line; do
grep -q "$line" textFile
echo "${line}: $?"
done < patternFile
Loop over the patternFile and for every pattern invoke a grep -q on the textFile. grep -q will not produce any output, but it will set bash's exit status to 0 if the pattern was found and to 1 if it was not found.
As commented by that other guy, you can get a list with all matching patterns like this:
while read line; do
grep -q "$line" textFile && echo "$line"
done < patternFile

I a trying to read a file line by line and add the value of each line after making some changes to a variable.
Currently I am using this-
COM="Something i"
while IFS= read -r line || [ -n "$line" ];
do
LINE="Line${line/=/,}End"
COM="$COM$LINE"
done < Vars
COM="$COM done"
echo "Vars" | piping_into_some_other_application
The content of file vars-
VAL=something
VAL2=somethingelse
VAL3=some
VAL4=vals
I finally expect COM to be-
Something iLineVAL,somethingEndLineVAL2,somethingelseEndLineVAL3,someEndLineVAL4,valsEnd done
But I get-
LineVAL4,valsEnd done
With Your solution $LINE and $COM gets overwritten with every iteration instead of appending.
You can do this with gawk if that is available too look this:
awk '{gsub("=",",") ; V = V "Line" $1 "End" } END { print "Something i" V "done"}' INPUTFILE | some_other_application
(And You can do it with sed, perl etc.)
With bash it can be done like
COM=""
while IFS= read -r line ; do
COM="${COM}Line${line/=/,}end"
done < INPUTFILE
echo "Something i${COM} done" | some_other_program

In Bash, I would like to know how to read lines from a file in a directory i specifiy so that there are no arguements along with running the script. All I have seen if suggestions for running a script with a file given as the arguement rather than one specified.
while read -r line; do
echo "$line"
done < filename
% cat read_line_by_line_example.txt_inside
dir="$1"
[ -f "$dir"/example.txt ] || exit 1
# borrowing from Cyrus
while read -r line; do
echo "$line"
# do watever you want with "$line"
done < "$dir"/example.txt
% sh read_line_by_line_example.txt_inside "a/b/c/d/my dir"
line 1
line b
last line
%

Need a help on unix shell scripting. As I am new to this.
I have a shell script written. While running that script am giving argument as say 003. I need to replace this argument value in a particular line in shell scripts as below.
Script:
if [[ $# != 1 ]]
then
echo "Please enter the Value"
echo "eg: script.sh 003"
exit 0;
fi
Q=WMS.XXX.vinoth
I need to replace XXX value with 003 and append into a temp file. Can you please help me???
Thanks in advance!!!
Do you ask how to replace the XXX with first argument?
Q=WMS.$1.vinoth
Using the $1 will work, however be aware that you should probably use quotation marks when passing a number like 003 in stead of 3 as in some cases the two zeros in front might be dropped.
Also I recommend wrapping the string in quotation marks as well, avoiding accidental command calls.
./script "003"
if [[ $# != 1 ]]
then
echo "Please enter the Value"
echo "eg: script.sh 003"
exit 0;
fi
Q="WMS.$1.vinoth"

I want store in a file and in a variable multiples lines from a "paste" via shell script. A simple read terminates after the first line.
How can I accomplish that?
Example:
echo "Paste the certificate key:"

read it and store it file say /tmp/keyfile
read it and store it in a variable $keyvariable
You just have to decide how much to read.
If this is the only input, you could read until end of file. This is how most UNIX utilities work:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Pipe in certificate, or paste and it ctrl-d when done"
keyvariable=$(cat)
If you want to continue reading things later in the script, you can read until you see a blank line:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Paste certificate and end with a blank line:"
keyvariable=$(sed '/^$/q')
If you want it to feel more like magic interactively, you could read until the script has gone two seconds without input:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Paste your certificate:"
IFS= read -d '' -n 1 keyvariable
while IFS= read -d '' -n 1 -t 2 c
do
keyvariable+=$c
done
echo "Thanks!"

Can anyone explain the part where read i is used. Where did the i come from.
scp -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.sample gaara#stuid.student.com:ready/$2/*.zip ./$2 > slate.out 2>&1
ls -1 $2/* > curr.lst 2>/dev/null
while
read i
do
if
test -e ../done/"$i"
then
diff "$i" ../done/"$i" >/dev/null 2>&1
if
test $? -eq 0
then
rm "$i"
fi
fi
done < curr.lst
This syntax for read is commonly used to process multiple lines from a file. Let's simplify things by omitting the inner loop:
while
read i
do
# Process i
done < curr.lst
The 'while x do; done' syntax is pretty basic and easily understood, but the addition of the I/O redirect can be confusing. When you add the < curr.lst after done, it means "use the contents of this file as stdin for the conditional. So, if you now omit the loop, you get:
read i < curr.lst
It is now clear that read is getting its input from curr.lst and setting the variable i to the contents of each line. So, what that block of code basically means is "process each line of curr.lst as the variable i with the code inside the loop.
"read" , according to man page (type man page in a shell), read from a file descriptor.
In your code, the loop is made for each row from "curr.lst", which are put in the variable $i
