What is your question here? You are wanting to remove the user inputs and have it query an excel file instead?

[anubhav400741]

i will upload that script and a Excel(or CSV) in server and i want that while running the script it will take inputs from excel file column bu column ..

[ithelp]

Upload it in mysql database and use perl/php to read the data.

If you use a .CSV then you can use an array in bash and split it that way. Here is a start

declare -a varray
for aline in `cat $USERFILE`
do
  varray=(`echo $aline | awk '{ split($0, ulist, ","); for(i=1; i<=11; i++) printf ulist[i] " "; }'`)

  aname=${varray[0]}
  amode=${varray[1]}

You can change the "cat userfile" to "grep ^something" to find your row and then use ${varray[N]} to get at specific elements

you may use awk also
