i need to create a shell script, which will go into a directory , and scan the files in it for defined errors, there will be around 10 files in the directory.
This will work for you...
#!/usr/bin/ksh
for file is `ls directoryname`
do
echo $file
cat $file | grep -i "error pattern" >newfile
done
ls Dir_name | xargs grep "error_pattern"
If u are having multiple error patterns use -e option
Thanks

grep "error pattern" *
