For example i'm having the below contents in a file:
expr is great when you want to split a string into just two parts. The .* also makes expr good for skipping a variable number of words when you don't know how many words a string will have. But expr is lousy for getting, say, the fourth word... (2 Replies)

I have an awk script to find the maximum value of the 2nd column of a 2 column datafile, but I need to find the top 5 maximum values of the 2nd column.
Here is the script that works for the maximum value.

Hi All,
I have a large dat file where each lines are pipe delimited values. I need to parse the file depending on the request. For example: sometimes I have told to remove all the values in the 7th column (this case remove values '3333' only from the first line and '3543' from the second line)... (4 Replies)

LEARN ABOUT MINIX
pipe
PIPE(2) System Calls Manual PIPE(2)NAME
pipe - create an interprocess communication channel
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int pipe(int fildes[2])
DESCRIPTION
The pipe system call creates an I/O mechanism called a pipe. The file descriptors returned can be used in read and write operations. When
the pipe is written using the descriptor fildes[1] up to PIPE_MAX bytes of data are buffered before the writing process is suspended. A
read using the descriptor fildes[0] will pick up the data.
PIPE_MAX equals 7168 under Minix, but note that most systems use 4096.
It is assumed that after the pipe has been set up, two (or more) cooperating processes (created by subsequent fork calls) will pass data
through the pipe with read and write calls.
The shell has a syntax to set up a linear array of processes connected by pipes.
Read calls on an empty pipe (no buffered data) with only one end (all write file descriptors closed) returns an end-of-file.
The signal SIGPIPE is generated if a write on a pipe with only one end is attempted.
RETURN VALUE
The function value zero is returned if the pipe was created; -1 if an error occurred.
ERRORS
The pipe call will fail if:
[EMFILE] Too many descriptors are active.
[ENFILE] The system file table is full.
[ENOSPC] The pipe file system (usually the root file system) has no free inodes.
[EFAULT] The fildes buffer is in an invalid area of the process's address space.
SEE ALSO sh(1), read(2), write(2), fork(2).
NOTES
Writes may return ENOSPC errors if no pipe data can be buffered, because the pipe file system is full.
BUGS
Should more than PIPE_MAX bytes be necessary in any pipe among a loop of processes, deadlock will occur.
