Read the folder name from file and check a keyword in one of the file inside that

Hi All

I have a file which contain list of folders name. All these folders have one wlserver.txt file.

Now I need to write a script which will read folders name from that file and for each folder it will check a keyword (Enable)is there in wlserver.txt file or not,

if its there that particular folder name should be stored in WithKeyword file else store in WithOutKeyword file

the code which I wrote is :

#!/bin/bash

file=/usr/Richa/study/ModelName.txt
while read line;
do
echo -e "$line\n";
grep "Enable" /usr/Richa/DB_Properties/$line/wlserver.cfg >>Models.txt
if [ $? != 0 ]; then
echo No
exit
else
echo YES
exit
fi
done < $file

In the above code when I delete the below code:
if [ $? != 0 ]; then
echo No
exit
else
echo YES
exit
fi
it shows all the lines from the file
but once I add that code, loop is not going to next line of the file

Can anybody please explain me why
and how can I above script

thanks , but there is one more error

Run your script as '/bin/bash -vx /path/to/script 2>&1 | tee /tmp/output.txt' then post or attach contents of "/tmp/output.txt".

Please use ***[code][/code]*** tags around your code and data, to preserve the original formatting and to improve readability. Do not use quote tags, bolding, colors, "start/end" lines, or other creative techniques. Thanks.

As mentioned, if you use exit, you'll stop the script. In this case you don't need to do anything special. The loop will simply continue until every line in the file is processed.

I'd write it slightly differently though:

Code:

#!/bin/bash



infile=/usr/Richa/study/ModelName.txt

withkeywordfile=Models.txt

withoutkeywordfile=Notthere.txt



serverfile_prefix=/usr/Richa/DB_Properties

serverfile_suffix=wlserver.cfg



while read -r line || [[ -n $line ]]; do



    serverfile="$serverfile_prefix/$line/$serverfile_suffix"



    printf '%s\n\n' "$line"



    if grep "Enable" "$serverfile" >>"$withkeywordfile" ; then

        echo "YES"

    else

        echo "NO"

        echo "$line not found" >>"$withoutkeywordfile"

    fi



done <"$infile"



exit 0

The [[ -n $line ]] addition is there in case the input file doesn't have a final newline.

Finally, you should always take care to keep your code and data as separate as possible. Setting all of your filenames as variables at the top of the script is one recommended suggestion.
