Welcome. Can you give a sample of the files you're working with - with details changed to protect the innocent if appropriate!

I don't mind people who aren't what they seem. I just wish they'd make their mind up.

thanks for ur reply . the maint name and product name are in Header of file
# $maint$ : dips
# $product$ : test
The files are stored in subdirectories with etn *.exp.

i worte the script
find /users/testsuite/SiCat.Tests/daily/DB/ -name \*.exp |xargs grep "maint" |"product"

it is greping only maint name , i want to grep product name too .

i need output in ths format
/users/testsuite/Sicat.tests/daily/DB/area/area0.exp $maint$ : dips $product$ : test

Hi

Your evident problem is the wrong use of pipe ( | ) :

grep "maint" |"product"   [gray]# grep for "main" then pipe the results to "product"[/gray]
grep "maint\|product"     [gray]# grep for "main" or "product"[/gray]

Because the grouping and removing of the hash ( # ) is hard and ugly this way, I suffest using [tt]awk[/tt] :

find /users/testsuite/SiCat.Tests/daily/DB/ -name \*.exp | xargs awk '{sub(/^# */,"")}/maint/{m=$0}/product/{print FILENAME,$0,m}'

Note, that while you had no protection against finding multiple mathing lines in one file, I did not implemented neither.

Tested with [tt]gawk[/tt] and [tt]mawk[/tt].

it is not working giving error
awk: illegal statement near line 1

Hi

Then your [tt]awk[/tt] is not [tt]gawk[/tt], [tt]mawk[/tt] or [tt]nawk[/tt]. Try search your system for [tt]nawk[/tt], that is installed on some Unixes.
