Create a file using a existed file

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hello everyone,

My problem is suppose I have one file name dipanjan.conf and the format of this file is as follows-
Name : Ddd Rrr Ooo
Email : abc@pqr.com
Mobile No : +8801911000000

Now, I want to create a new file using this one by shell script giving parameter (1)name, (2)email & (3)mobile no.
Actually I try a lot, but not able to solve this one. Can anybody please help me?

you can read the file line by line and store the parts behind ":" into 3 different arrays.
after that iterating through these arrays and writing into a new created file.

Please provide your input file you have, the output you expect, as well as the code you have done so far so people may then be able to help.

If names are unique you may try this:

grep -A2 "Name : Ddd Rrr Ooo" inputfile >> newfile

If it is a configuration file why don't you just

Name="Ddd Rrr Ooo"
Email="abc@pqr.com"
Mobile_No="+8801911000000"

and then load these variables in your environment :

. ./dipanjan.conf

???

I mean, instead of using a wrongly formatted configuration file that you then have to parse, just use a correclty formatted one that you can directly load.
