Shell/awk/grep question
Given a text file, thing.txt, that contains lines of comma-separated data, I want to combine these two steps:
awk -F, '{ print $1 }' thing.txt
and
find . -iname somefilename.txt | xargs grep "pattern"
where pattern is the field printed out by awk.
I can do this in Perl, but I want to throw a couple of executables and a script at this problem, and cannot necessarily install Perl on the boxes that might have to do this.
