Before I get started, I should preface this by saying I suck at this. I'm trying to learn, but am pressed for time. Any help is greatly appreciated
From a list of names, I need to create ~200 files that look similar to this:
Code:
[Groupname;mb;typeservermb1]
address typeservermb1.server.com #note the whitespace
the name of the file would be typeservermb1.conf
The items that would be variables are:
mb
type
server
mb
1
typeservermb1
The list of names looks like:
typeservermb1
typeserverab2
typeserverpt3
etc.
So, everything needs to be based off of the name given. I would like that list of ~200 names to come from a separate file.
Here's what I have so far (way off track, I am sure)
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#create files based on name
cat file.txt | while read LINE
do
echo >> /home/user/dir/${1}.conf
done
#for every file created, write the following
#note - this is where I am completely lost
$mb= #based on name of file? Or from list? Also, can be equal to mb, ab, or pt
$type= #can be equal to bry o trk
$server= #can be grx3 or lkh3iu
$1= #a number - i think 100 is the highest it goes
[Groupname;$mb;$type$server$mb$1]
address $type$server$mb$1.server.com
