hello to all,

the files are in the format <model>,,,<serial> of 1000 lines each.
these are text files. i wil read these one by one, line by line, and
process each line. so that i can out put to xml file in the format
below:
[...]
how to do this in bash. please dont use perl.
Erm, why not? =)
Anyhow, here's one way to do it:
# prepare the XML header here, in `set.xml'
ls /home/cj/test | sed -e's/^\(.*\),,,\(.*\)$/<data model="\1"
serial="\2"> >> set.xml
# end the XML stream here
Then again, bash is not a good choice for processing large amounts of
text files, since you'd most likely use other tools (like sed above)
causing a fork of the current shell. Perl would be helpful here; you
could probably look at the standard Text modules for starters.
If you're still adamant into using shell, then I suggest you look into
Zsh.[0] Some folk even turned it into a rather useful IRC client.[1]
