Reading from EndPointsPriority.txt and finding that file name in other Directory


This is working >>>>>>>>>>>>

echo "Start"
ePFileName='../resources/EndPointsPriority.txt'
counteP=1
while IFS= read -r eP; do
# reading each line
echo "Line No. $counteP : $eP"
#issue on below line
for file in $(find /apps_01/CBK/T5G2Batch/dataTqr/ -iname "*0001105*" 2>/dev/null)
do
# if file does not exist, don't try to send it
[ -f "$file" ]||continue
echo "File found $file"
done
counteP=$( expr $counteP + 1 )
echo "new count $counteP"
done < $ePFileName
echo "End"

This is not working >>>>>>>>>>>>

echo "Start"
ePFileName='../resources/EndPointsPriority.txt'
counteP=1
while IFS= read -r eP; do
# reading each line
echo "Line No. $counteP : $eP"
#issue on below line
for file in $(find /apps_01/CBK/T5G2Batch/dataTqr/ -iname "*$eP*" 2>/dev/null)
do

done < $ePFileName
echo "End"

is there any question here? Do you need any support?
please use code tags to post your scripts.
also please use shellcheck to analyze your script.

As far as I can see the only difference between "working" and "not working" is
Try enclosing the variable in curly braces: ${eP}.

Tried but not working : for file in $(find /apps_01/CBK/T5G2Batch/dataTqr/ -iname "*${eP}*" 2>/dev/null)[/code]

Ensure the variable $eP contains the correct value at that point in script execution. I see you echoing it just before. Does it print what you expect?

You may also temporarily remove the 2>/dev/null redirection in the find command to see if there are any error messages.

try with new code as per your link but still not working


#!/bin/bash
echo "Start"
ePFileName='../resources/EndPointsPriority.txt'
counteP=1
while IFS= read -r eP; do
# reading each line
echo "Line No. $counteP : $eP"
#issue on below line
while IFS= read -r -d '' file
do
# if file does not exist, don't try to send it
[ -f "$file" ]||continue
echo "File found $file"
done < <(find /apps_01/CBK/T5G2Batch/dataTqr/ -iname "*${eP}*" 2>/dev/null)
counteP=$( $counteP + 1 )
echo "new count $counteP"
done < $ePFileName
echo "End"

>>>>>>

echo "Start"
ePFileName='../resources/EndPointsPriority.txt'
counteP=1
while IFS= read -r eP; do
# reading each line
echo "Line No. $counteP : ${eP}"
#issue on below line
for file in $(find /apps_01/CBK/T5G2Batch/dataTqr/ -iname "*${eP}*")
do
# if file does not exist, don't try to send it
[ -f "$file" ]||continue
echo "File found $file"
done
counteP=$( expr $counteP + 1 )
echo "new count $counteP"
done < $ePFileName
echo "End"

>>>Output
Start
Line No. 1 : 0001105
new count 2
Line No. 2 : 0005074
new count 3
Line No. 3 : 0079557
new count 4
End


One more thing i observer



echo "Start"
ePFileName='../resources/EndPointsPriority.txt'
counteP=1
while IFS= read -r eP; do
# reading each line
echo "Line No. $counteP : ${eP} test"
#issue on below line
for file in $(find /apps_01/CBK/T5G2Batch/dataTqr/ -iname "*${eP}*")
do
# if file does not exist, don't try to send it
[ -f "$file" ]||continue
echo "File found $file"
done
counteP=$( expr $counteP + 1 )
echo "new count $counteP"
done < $ePFileName
echo "End"
output changes to ( this is not correct)

Start
testNo. 1 : 0001105
new count 2
testNo. 2 : 0005074
new count 3
testNo. 3 : 0079557
new count 4
End

What link?


When echoing the variable enclose it into brackets like this
This way you'll catch any stray whitespace characters.


Also, remove IFS= before read:
This way any whitespace characters will be trimmed from the beginning and end of the input line.

Perchance, can the input file be encoded with DOS newlines (CRLF)?

Fixed thank you so much

I created EndPointsPriority.txt using touch in linux then retyped all the values

not sure what was the issue ?? any thing to handle in code ?


previously I created EndPointsPriority.txt in windows and copied it to linux

^This. Windows and Linux have different newline conventions.

In your code, you could handle it like this:

thank you so much !!!

Really learning something new

I'm a java sr Dev working in Shell for first time.

Thank you again it worked.

Thank you Shruggy
