Copying files after result

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi,

I have a shell script

#!/bin/sh
date
echo 'HI PROD'
echo $Please ENTER THE INPUT 1 for old files 2 for new file
read i
if [ "$i" -eq 1 ];
then
   cd /apps/acetp3_logs/prod3/O*
  pwd
  echo $PLEASE ENTER THE STRING TO SEARCH (PLEASE ENTER THE STRING INSIDE QUOTES ' ')
   read j
  echo $PLEASE ENTER THE FILE STRING TO SEARCH
  read k
  while [ "$j" != " " ] || [ "$k" != " "]
  do
     zgrep -l $j $k
   done
else
   if [ "$i" -eq 2 ];
  then
    cd /apps/acetp3_logs/prod3
    pwd
    echo $PLEASE ENTER THE STRING TO SEARCH
    read j
    echo $PLEASE ENTER THE FILE STRING TO SEARCH
    read k
    while [ "$j" != " " ] || [ "$k" != " "]
    do
      grep -l '$j'$k
    done
   fi
 fi
exit

in the above script the zgrep will find the result of files and i need to cp those files to a specific folder

Thanks for the help

If the gzip files are huge, it will take time. Otherwise the script is pretty straight forward. I dont know if unzipping and a normal grep will help!

while [ "$j" != " " ] || [ "$k" != " "]
do
zgrep -l  $j /apps/acetp3_logs/prod3/O*/$k|xargs -I {} cp {} /home/l828117/weblogic 2> /dev/null
