Hi I need help..........
I have an Sun One Directory server LDIF file with 5000 user entries, I need to change the data to match Test ID's, so I can run a perf test.
I'm way out of my league as I have not done any scripting for 10 years.
There are four entries for each user in the file that I need to update with the uid from a list in another file.
dn: uid=xxxzzze000,l=emea,ou=internal,ou=people,dc=company,dc=com
mail: xxxzzze000.xxxzzze000@uk.company.com
uid: xxxzzze000
The real users are not wholly sequential........
They range from
xxxzzze000 - xxxzzze999
xxxzzzf000 - xxxzzzf999
xxxzzzh000 - xxxzzzh999
xxxzzzi000 - xxxzzzi999
xxxzzzj000 - xxxzzzj999
The Test users are
xxxzzze1000 -xxxzzze5000
Has anyone got a script for changing entries in a file based on input from another file?
Thx

I think I nead something like this.....
#!/bin/bash
read oldval
read newval
while read line
do
{
sed 's/'$oldval'/'$newval'/g' $line >$line".new"
}
done<list.txt
If I am correct this would take a list input from a file; read the old value and replace with the new value in the same file
so if the file had in it -
xxxzzze000 xxxzzze1000
xxxzzze001 xxxzzze1001
xxxzzze002 xxxzzze1002
The script should replace
dn: uid=xxxzzze000,l=emea,ou=internal,ou=people,dc=company,dc=com
mail: xxxzzze000.xxxzzze000@uk.company.com
uid: xxxzzze000
dn: uid=xxxzzze001,l=emea,ou=internal,ou=people,dc=company,dc=com
mail: xxxzzze001.xxxzzze001@uk.company.com
uid: xxxzzze001
dn: uid=xxxzzze002,l=emea,ou=internal,ou=people,dc=company,dc=com
mail: xxxzzze002.xxxzzze002@uk.company.com
uid: xxxzzze002
with the following
dn: uid=xxxzzze1000,l=emea,ou=internal,ou=people,dc=company,dc=com
mail: xxxzzze1000.xxxzzze1000@uk.company.com
uid: xxxzzze1000
dn: uid=xxxzzze1001,l=emea,ou=internal,ou=people,dc=company,dc=com
mail: xxxzzze1001.xxxzzze1001@uk.company.com
uid: xxxzzze1001
dn: uid=xxxzzze1002,l=emea,ou=internal,ou=people,dc=company,dc=com
mail: xxxzzze1002.xxxzzze1002@uk.company.com
uid: xxxzzze1002
Can anyone verfiy?
The file is in Standard LDIF format so there are a block of entries per user
dn: uid=xxxzzze000,l=emea,ou=internal,ou=people,dc=company,dc=com
objectClass: inetorgperson
objectClass: person
objectClass: internalperson
objectClass: organizationalperson
objectClass: person
objectClass: top
objectClass: service
c: GB
cn: Alasdair J
employeeNumber: 000300
givenName: Alasdair
mail: xxxzzze000.xxxzzze000@uk.company.com
preferredLanguage: en
countryCode: UK
employeeType: Test
jobTitle: INTNST
los: ABAS
sn: J
uid: xxxzzze000
userPassword::
The second file is just a list of id's in sequential order. So I need to finds the id in the LDIF and change it based on the new ID's in all the correct places in the LDIF for 5000 users.
