how to fix this awk script?
i have a log file while looks like this
++
user_a blabla
blabla nas_b blabla user_d
this is a user_a
junk line
another junk line
user_c nas_m blabla
++
basically most of the lines contain a "user" keywords, and the rest of the lines do not have "user" at all.
So I have the following script, which just extracts the user part(if that line has a user keyword) from each line
awk '{ for (i=0; i<=NF; i++)
if($i~/user/)
{a=$i}
else
{continue}
{print a}
}' /tmp/test
and when I run it, I got the following result
user_a
user_d
user_a
user_a #<===actually there is no user in that line at all.
user_c
why this happens and how can I fix my script? thanks
