Your questions seems to be a homework assignment. Try to figure out yourself.
Hi,
This is just a vague sample of the above req mentioned.
not thoroughly tested.
echo "give the first input."
read input1
echo "give the second input."
read input2
line=`grep $input1 <filename> | grep $input2 <filename>`
output1=`echo $line | cut -f1 -d"|"`
if [ $output1 = $input1 ]
then
output1=`echo $line | cut -f2 -d"|"`
fi
output2=`echo $line | cut -f3 -d"|"`
if [ $output2 = $input2 ]
then
output2=`echo $line | cut -f4 -d"|"`
fi
echo "output1: $output1"
echo "output2: $output2"
Please let me know if my understanding and proceeding with the req was correct or not.
