Shell script [message #614330]

[size=4] I want to write a script to identify oracle tables in RDFs (oracle reports).

I have written as below

>vi grep_identify_tab.sh (Shell script name)

#!/bin/bash

INPUT_FILE=$1 (we will pass the rdf file name)
TABLE=$2 (will pass the table name which we need to search)
grep "$TABLE" $INPUT_FILE

But I don't think that it will work because shell will not be able to open and read the .rdf format.

So any expert advice on this will be appreciated.

Thanks

Datta

Thanks for the reply.

But here my i/p file is in .rdf format. So will it be readable in unix?

Why don't you just execute BlackSwan's command line to verify?

You can also execute "man strings" to know what is this tool (this answer your question).

I think the OS is correct and you wrong.
Did you export TABLE?
Anyway, this is not an Oracle question and so it is out of the scope of this forum.
I advise you to take a basic course about Unix shell and tools.
