Producing numbered files in shell (very simple)
Hi,
I am trying to write a script which will output files that are numbered.
My draft script is this:
#!/bin/sh
LIST1=$1
LIST2=$2
for f in $(cat $1)
do
grep $f $2 > $2_????
done
What I want is for all output files to be numbered e.g o1, o2, o3 etc etc, one for each line of input file $1.
I am sure the answer is very simple but I cannot find it as I am a novice.
Thanks,
Christina
You can use expr.
Hope this helps.
#!/bin/shLIST1=$1LIST2=$2i=0for f in $(cat $1)do grep $f $2 > $2_$i i=`expr $i + 1`done
Hope this helps.
