shell script to...

[Neil Greene]

Any sed gurus that would like to explain how to accomplish the following.  I
have not masterd the art of sed or awk.

I have a file that contains drug names and next to the drug name is the drug
group.

> Dipyrone		Analgesic
> Nefopam		Analgesic
> Thiosalicylic Acid	Analgesic
> Xylazine		Analgesic
> Chloramphenicol	Antibiotic 

A need a shell script that will read from another (ascii) data file, find an
occurance of a DRUG_NAME, write the line to another (ascii) file and append
the appropriate DRUG_TYPE to the new line.

# line with drug name in it
xxxx 01/02/90 xxxxxx xxxxx xxx x xxxxxxx Dipyrone .... xxxx xxxxx 

# rewrite new line to new ascci file
xxxx 01/02/90 xxxxxx xxxxx xxx x xxxxxxx Dipyrone .... xxxx xxxxx Analgesic
