Something like this should work...
users="user1 user2 user3 user4 user5"
file=<name of file>
for user in $users; do
grep $user $file >/dev/null && cat $file > /tmp/"$user"_`date
+%Y-%m-%d-%H:%m` && break
done

AM Assistance needed.

Hello all,
I've been using tn5250 on a Linux server for over a year and sending i5
print sessions to Windows network printers while converting the output
to ascii, pdf and even tiff. It's the greatest thing since sliced
bread!! ;-)
I now have a need for something a little different and I'm asking for
any hints on the best way to accomplish it. (Not being a bash scripting
guru, myself)
I want to take the output of scs2ascii and search that output for a
user's name. Each output is a document containing 1 of 5 possible user
names. I then want to write that output as a file using the user name
as the filename and maybe adding the current date and time. I may want
to further process or format that output but I can probably manage that
with enscript as I've been doing.
My thoughts are to setup variables with the 5 user names and then use
grep to test for each user, check the return status code for a match and
then write the filename. That is overly simplified, of course. I'm
currently reading a shell programming book and hoping to put a script
together but would appreciate any guidance from the more experienced
programmers on this list.
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Mitch
