Extracting data from text file to input to another text file
So what I have is a text file of attributes and a text file log which has these attributes and an action along side it
e.g. 10-19-attribute1: details of action 11-06-attribute2: details of action 10-19-attribute1: details of action
The list goes on for a while. So what I'm trying to do is extract each line pertaining to each attribute.
In Ubuntuu I've done grep "10-19-attribute1" /path/to/source > attribute1.txt
This works fine. But what I'd like to do is use the text file of attributes to (there are a lot) so I don't have to do this for each one individually.
Is this possible?
