How to read the files from one directory and give the file as input of another stored procedure using shell...
i am new to writing shell scripts and i have a directory called XML_Files which contains the list of xml files
01.xml
02.xml
03.xml
04.xml
i wanted to read all xml files one by one and send the files to my stored procedure as input argument. so that the stored procedure will process the each xml file one by one accordingly.
I tried to use the for loop to achieve this , but i couldn't get the expected results. it only took the file directory path. Can someone help what i missed in the below script:
XML_FILES='ls -l $Xml_Files/*.xml'
for f in XML_FILES
do
<<Stored procedure>> $f
if [ $? = 0 ]
then
mv $f $XML_Proccesed_Dir/
else
mv $f $XML_error_Dir/
fi
done
i am looking for something which can pick the file from the /xml_files directory and send the files to the stored procedure as an input argument to process the xml files.
linux bash shell

Then you can write a short script in which you first go to the desired directory ,like:cd /desired/directory/
and apply thefor
loop,like:for i in *.xml; do <<Stored procedure>> $i; done

You can just use the wildcard expansion in bash to get the list of xml files inside folder.
for f in ${Xml_Files}/*.xml; do
something ${f}
....
done
${f}
in this loop will be in form:
${Xml_Files}/01.xml
${Xml_Files}/02.xml
${Xml_Files}/03.xml
${Xml_Files}/04.xml
If you need ${f} to be in some other format you should clarify the question more.

You can also use find
to execute a given command on every files found. Example:
find ${Xml_Files} -name '*.xml' -type f -exec something {} ;
This will search every file (-type f
) with extension xml (-name '*.xml'
) in the directory ${Xml_Files}
and execute something x
on every x
found.
You can also use find
to execute short bash script, e.g.:
find ${Xml_Files} -name '*.xml' -type f -exec bash -c 'echo {}' ;
