hi,
am new to unix can any one help me to insert data to afile to a specified
column.

ie to an output file with csv format i should insert some data to 2,3,4 fileds and the data in those fields should move to next fields

eg:
output file

asd,12,12,12,12,1,2,1,1,1,1,1
mnmn,1,12,1,1,1,112,12,1,1,1


insert data

after asd 33,44
after mnmn 55,66


ie required o/p

asd,33,44,12,12,12,12,1,2,1,1,1,1,1
mnmn,55,66,1,12,1,1,1,112,12,1,1,1

can u exp the code

hi
i am getting an error

as below

insert: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `('
insert: line 1: `nawk -F, -v OFS=',' -v asd = '33,44' -v mnmn = '55,66' '$1 == "asd" || $1 == "mnmn" '$1 == "asd" || $1 == "mnmn" { $1= $1 OFS (( $1 == asd ) ? asd : mnmn )}1' myFile.txt'

sorry - bad copy/paste:

clarify a few things...the data u'll be inserting will be in a file? n the no. of rows in that file is equal to the no. of rows in the file to which u wanna insert?

i mean, if u have 10 rows in the file u want to change, u want to insert data into all the 10 rows n in a sequential manner?

hi vgersh99
