Hi,
I am working on a script having problem with steps 3 & 4. Any help will be appreciated.
1. read File 1- one line at a time, which has a list of terms (number of lines in this file may vary from 1 line to 15 lines).
2. Store each line in a variable (save-word).
3. Locate save-word in file 2, (file 2 has description for terms in file 1. description can be of one paragraph or more)
4. extract paragraph(s) between pipes.
5. write paragraph(s) to a third file.
End of script File 3 should have descriptions for all the terms in File 1.
Example:
File 1
Active Window
Case-sensitive
Clipboard
File 2 (description)
Bitmap - aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
|
Active Window - the last window you clicked on - the one that's currently highlighted..............................
Any keys you press affect this window. ..............................................................................................................................
|
Case sensitive - so on
|
I have used pipes to separate description, any other suggestion I could change that.
Thanks in advance
Ruby
