I have one file list.fdict which contains recordname and its details.
like :
NAME1:25:C:NAME LINE1:
NAME2:25:C:NAME LINE2:
CITY:25:C:City:
STATE:2:C:State:
ZIPCODE:5:N:ZIPCODE:
PHONE1:12:C:HOME PHONE:
PHONE2:12:C:BUSINESS PHONE:
I want to append news records(22 different records line) to the above file.
for this,
I want to write shell script which first check record exists then dont append
and if not exists then append it.
How do you I write such shell script in efficient way.
suppose I have two files list1.cfg and list2.cfg
both files contains differentrecords details
like
List1.cfg
NAME1:25:C:NAME LINE1:
NAME2:25:C:NAME LINE2:
CITY:25:C:City:
STATE:2:C:State:
ZIPCODE:5:N:ZIPCODE:
PHONE1:12:C:HOME PHONE:
PHONE2:12:C:BUSINESS PHONE:
list2.cfg
NAME1:25:C:NAME LINE1:
NAME2:25:C:NAME LINE2:
PHONECNTR:2:N:Number of attemmpts at calling RECALLNUMBER
PHONESTATR:1:C:PHONESTAT of the current RECALLNUMBER
ZONEPHONER:1:C:Time zone of the current RECALLNUMBER
LASTDATER:10:D:Date of last attempt on RECALLNUMBER
LASTTIMER:8:T:Time of last attempt on RECALLNUMBER
LASTSTATR:2:C:Stat of last attempt on RECALLNUMBER
FRSTDATER:10:D:Date of first attempt to call RECALLNUMBER
FRSTTIMER:8:T:Time of first attempt to call RECALLNUMBER
FRSTSTATR:2:C:Stat of first attempt to call RECALLNUMBER
Now I want to append contents list2.cfg to list1.cfg(It ispposible using cat list2.cfg >>list1.cfg) but I want to check if content of (record) in list2.cfg is present in list1.cfg then dont append it otherwise append it.
How do I write such shell script in efficient way
