File 1
<html>ta da....unique file name I want to give file=>343...</html>
<html>da ta 234 </html>
<html>pa da 542 </html>
and so on...
File 2
343
234
542
and so on, each line in File 1 one also corresponds with each line in File 2
I have tried several grep, sed, while .. read, do, done scripts and to no avail.
i need a ksh script that will do the following
(readORawkOR???) 1 line at a time, >OR?? into its corresponding unique identifier in the HTML code, but the unique identifier in the code is not at the beginning or the ending of the line, its in the middle, I have <html> and </html> at the begining and end of each line..
You can do this many way, but here is one example how to use parameter expansion.
#!/bin/ksh
# read lines from stdin
while read line
do
# remove begin of line including <html>
a1=${line#*<html>}
# remove end of line including </html>
a2=${a1%</html>*}
# remove all char except numbers (replace not numbers with nothing)
a3=${a2//[^0-9]/}
print $a3
done
In file1, line 1 (<html>...unique identifier23432..</html>) needs to be > to the identifier in line 1 in file2 (creating a NEW file name for each record)(23432).html (creating new file based on unique identifier)

#!/bin/ksh
#create counter
cnt=0
# read lines from stdin
while read line
do
# remove begin of line including <html>
a1=${line#<html>}
# remove end of line including </html>
a2=${a1%</html>}
# remove all char except numbers (replace not numbers with nothing)
a3=${a2//[^0-9]/}
print $a3 #increment cnt for testing creation of new unique identifier
cnt=$(($cnt+1))
done > $cnt.html
$ksh test3.ksh
test3.ksh[17]: : bad substitution
$
This 1 file is created:
0 Jun 28 08:41 0.html
blank and no 1,2, 3 and so forth..
Any other ideas?
Thank you but unfortunately, this will not create what I need..
in summary.. SEE Below
In file1, line 1 (<html>...unique identifier23432..</html>) needs to be > to the identifier in line 1 in file2 (creating a NEW file name for each record)(23432).html (creating new file based on unique identifier)

I'm not sure what you are trying, sort input file example and what you like to be result example.
while ...
do
# a3 is the key value, look first example script
> $a3.html
done
cnt=1
while read line
do
# create/overwrite empty file using some variable value
> $cnt.html
# or put something to file
print something > $cnt.html
((cnt+=1))
done
My input file is a list of html code for products that have a unique key as their id numbers in the description of the code..
test1
<html>(the code for product #####)</html> <==a complete webpage
i wanted to use the cnt value to represent a unique means of createing a new and different file fore each line in he test1 file so in essenct, it is creating a new html file for each line which I have tested and verified is seperated by a carrage return and no tabs or carage returns in the line itself.
filename.txt is another possible input file i tried to used a mv script to change the name of the cnt.html files created by the first script
