In order to do what you are looking to accomplish, you are best using UNIX functions.

The code you need would be something like this: (I am assuming that all files have a final line with just 'EOF'. - - - - - - -
# Function to walk through a passed filename evaluating both sides of an '=' sign
# Use parsed values when calling my_shell.sh script
Walk_Config ()
{
# Process the file

exec 6<$1
exec 7<&0
exec 0<&6

read conf_line
while [ ! "$conf_line" = "EOF!" ]
do

the_var=`echo $conf_line | awk -F= '{print $1}'` the_val=`echo $conf_line | awk -F= '{print $2}'` my_shell.sh $the_var $the_val
done
exec 0<&7
exec 6<&-
}

# Function to walk through Master.Conf file setting the value of the_conf from the file.
# Use the read file when calling function Walk_Config
Walk_Master ()
{
# Process the file

exec 4<master.conf
exec 5<&0
exec 0<&4

read the_line
while [ ! "$the_line" = "EOF!" ]
do

Walk_Config $the_line
done
exec 0<&5
exec 4<&-
}

# Main routine of shell script

Walk_Master

Subject:	Off topic: Unix Script Help Needed

All,
I need help in writing a Unix shell script , here is our requirement, my script looks for master config file say, master.conf having values of the pattern 'filename' and reads all the entries till end of file, for each entry in the master.conf there will be o/s file in the same directory and my script looks for the all the configuration values having the simple pattern name=value in that file, based on the name and value I am doing some processing. Can somebody there provide me a direction to how to achieve this,

logic flow is as follows,

myscript.sh

Read master.conf file
look for each detail config file for each entry in master.file, error out if detail config file is missing and loops for end of file.
Read each line of the individual file till end of file and take 'name' into $NAME variable and 'value' to $VALUE variable, call another script with these values as input to that script.

contents of master.conf

file1.conf
file2.conf

contents of file1.conf

variable1=10
variable2=20

content of file2.conf

variable3=30
variable4=40
