Hello Prashant,

I can understand that u need to search for something! What is that u exactly want?

A script that searches something? if so, what would be its inputs? what will be the file that u want to search?

Please explain in detail!! :slight_smile:

Hello,

There are predefined path and predefined files under that path.
I want to search some string inside that file and if found then proper msg should be displayed.

and i want to do this process based on user and followed by string based files is same for all the user.

Second things i want to implement it based on switch case or let me know if any other option is fine or not?

hope you are geting wt i want to tell u.

thanks

Hey,

Here are ur needs.. Correct me if wrong!

1> Get the username
2> Search a string inside some files
3> If found, display message

Now the problem is

  1. Are there multiple files that you would need to search?
  2. What is "that string"???

Yes. Switch case is good! no probs! :slight_smile:

:confused:

the below code will take model no and search under that model no a specific word.

echo "Enter model no for searching string inside makefile"
read inputs2
#find /pools/home_unix/sapte/work/models/model/$inputs2 -name "makefile" | xargs grep "attr" \;
#;;

I am getting below error.
./menu1.sh: line 151: syntax error near unexpected token `"Hit <ENTER> to continue:"'
./menu1.sh: line 151: `echo "Hit <ENTER> to continue:"'
