Re: script help

Hi

If your file has only 2 columns and there is no space exists in 2nd column then you can use this script

#!/bin/sh
FILE="list.txt"
OUTPUT="out.txt"
while read VAL

do
VAL1=$(echo $VAL | awk '{print $1}' )
VAL2=$(echo $VAL | awk '{print $2}' )

echo "DEAR: $VAL1" >> $OUPUT
echo "DEAR: $VAL2" >> $OUPUT
echo " ">> $OUTPUT

done<$FILE

if you have spaces in between your 2nd column you might have to format the file using awk/sed
so that there would be a valid delimeter between column1 and column2

column 1| column2 here we can use '|' as the delimeter and change awk statement
to awk -F '| ' '{print $1}' or something like this.
