Hi
I have a file. list.txt (two columns)
column1 column2 name address
I need to put in the letter file letter.txt eg:
Dear: Chloe Address: CA
Can I use this
for i `cat list.txt` | sed 's/Chloe/$i.1; /CA/$i.2/g' $i.letter.txt
Thank you for your help
#!/bin/sh while read NAME ADDRESS do sed -e"s/Chloe/$NAME/" -e"s/CA/$ADDRESS/" <letter.txt>$NAME.letter.txt done <list.txt
Seems sort of fragile in that the name field can't have spaces.
