grep text file line by line and grep a directory for a match of each line

[kronus]

Hi everyone,

This is my first time posting to the UNIX form and it might be a strange request, but I believe I have most of the pieces.

Here's the overall goal -- I am trying to find the links in a large web site that are linked to files over 2000k.

I used the command line to find all files on the server that are larger than 2000k by using the following:

find ./ -size +2000c > files_over_2000_bytes.txt

And I know how to grep all the files in the web site to find a certain word by using the following:

grep -nr Something * > Something.txt;

Since I haven't used awk except for way back in '98, I am at a loss for how I could place these two commands together.

In any type of language that I am familiar with, I would make a function out of the first line.

Then I would create another function to read each line within the text file and place it into a variable.

Then I would grep the web site using the variable.

So, I have the logic, but I do not know the syntax.

Can anyone help me?

Thanx n advance

You want to embedd the whole logic in a AWK program? or whats ur requirement?

This is what I came up with:

#!/bin/bash

while read LINE

do

grep –nr $LINE * > matched_line.txt

done < files_over_2000_bytes.txt

use the -f option of grep, eg

grep -f file1 file2

[ghostdog74]

use the -f option of grep, eg

grep -f file1 file2

I don't know if I understand your reply, because I am trying to read each individual line of file1 to grep the entire web site.

So are you saying that I should write:

#!/bin/bash

grep –f files_over_2000_bytes.txt * > matched_line.txt

I have started looking at my own post and I started to think that maybe this wasn't making much sense to anyone other than myself.

Say I have a file with the following:

/var/www/vhosts/something.com/images/1.jpg
/var/www/vhosts/something.com/images/2.jpg
/var/www/vhosts/something.com/images/3.jpg
/var/www/vhosts/something.com/images/4.jpg
/var/www/vhosts/something.com/images/4.jpg

Let's call this file "files_over_200 0k.txt"

What I would like to do is grep the entire web site using each line from "files_over_200 0k.txt" to find any links within any page for "1.jpg," "2.jpg," etc... and place the results of where they are located, within another text file called "matched_line.t xt"
