You can load a configuration file containing variables from within AWK?

Thanks. ]]> Shell Programming and Scripting danietepa http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/125102-awk-configuration-file.html sed/awk to insert multiple lines before pattern http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/125101-sed-awk-insert-multiple-lines-before-pattern-new-post.html Wed, 02 Dec 2009 14:49:20 GMT I'm attempting to insert multiple lines before a line matching a given search pattern. These lines are generated in a separate function and can either be piped in as stdout or read from a temporary file.

I've been able to insert the lines from a file after the pattern using:
sed -i '/pattern/ r tempfile' file
I also know I can insert a line or lines before a pattern using:
sed -i '/pattern/i lines' file

I have yet to find an answer as to how to combine the two. Other options I've considered include finding the line number, subtracting one, then inserting the file after that line. I would be open to using awk or grep or any combination of these. ]]> Shell Programming and Scripting zksailor534 http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/125101-sed-awk-insert-multiple-lines-before-pattern.html some sed help pls http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/125098-some-sed-help-pls-new-post.html Wed, 02 Dec 2009 14:43:31 GMT Hello,

I have made a list of files of which I want to remove strings beginning with <iframe and </iframe

When I run the script I see the files fly along and the strings being removed.
However, in the source files nothing has changed.
Do I really need to write sed's result to a different output file... or can this be done inside the original file itself?

Thanks, Alge

I have a text test1.txt file like: Receipt Line1 Line2 Line3 End Hi.

I have a text test1.txt file like:

Receipt
Line1
Line2
Line3
End

Receipt
Line4
Line5
Line6
Canceled

Receipt
Line7
Line8
Line9
End

Line10
Line11

Receipt
Line12
Line13
Line14
Canceled

As result I need only lines between "Receipt" and "Canceled".

E.g.:

Receipt
Line4
Line5
Line6
Canceled

Receipt
Line12
Line13
Line14
Canceled

I have the following script:
awk '/Receipt/, $NF ~ /Canceled/ ' test1.txt

But this will extract other lines starting with "Receipt"

I found some other solution wotking with groups, but this is not helping me much:

awk '\
/Receipt/,/Canceled/ {
if (newgroup==0)
{print substr($0,index($0,"Receipt"))
newgroup=1}
else
{if (match($0,"Canceled"))
{print substr($0,1,index($0,"Canceled")-1)
newgroup=0}
else
print
}
}' test1.txt

When I run this full script:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo "Please type oracle-lower case please:"
read X
if [[ "${X}" != "oracle" ]]
then
      echo "Sorry that is not oracle, try again"
      exit 1
else
      echo Thank you
fi
find / -name oracle 2>/dev/null |
while read line
do
        bdf | grep "$X" | awk 'BEGIN {total=used=free=0}
        {total +=$2
        used +=$3
        free +=$4}
 END    {print "total space for oracle: "total;
        print "free space available for oracle: "free;
        print "space already used by oracle: "used}'
done
The output is:
total space for oracle: 0
free space available for oracle: 0
space already used by oracle: 0

When I run from this point below:
Code:
find / -name oracle 2>/dev/null |
while read line
do
        bdf | grep "$X" | awk 'BEGIN {total=used=free=0}
        {total +=$2
        used +=$3
        free +=$4}
 END    {print "total space for oracle: "total;
        print "free space available for oracle: "free;
        print "space already used by oracle: "used}'
done
I get:
total space for oracle: 2.01234e+09
free space available for oracle: 5.41099e+06
space already used by oracle: 3.29016e+08
bdf: /home/auto/***: Stale NFS file handle
bdf: /home/auto/***: Stale NFS file handle

I need to run the entire script, with the correct output, but without the NFS errors?

Can anyone tell me what Ive done wrong?

I am reading data from file and storing it in a multiline variable. Every line is seperated with "\n" character.

globalstrval="${globalstrval}""${line}""\n"

If the value of globalstrval is like:
1234
ABCD
EFGH
WXYZ
....

If I do,
YLvar=`echo $globalstrval | grep "ABC"`
then it should return me only one line : ABCD, and it is working fine in AIX.

But when I am porting my script on Linux system, I am getting value back as "1234\nABCD\nEFGH\nWXYZ". How can I get it working on both systems? I am using /bin/su. Is there any thing to do with shell?

Any help is much appreciated.
