Great. That makes a lot more sense to me now. Not sure what they were trying with the previous code.

Thanks for the help.

Ok. I think it is trying to sort byte 1 for 3 bytes, then byte 12 for 4 bytes. How would that statement work?

Are you saying that -k 4,12 would do the same thing? Would that make more sense?

I have a question about what the sort command is doing.

Here is some sample data:


348201310013RVE 2
600201310013GFJ 70
3302013020101NS 40
600201309013GFJ 70

I have a very long line with certain patters embedded in there. I need to be able to read that line, and when it encounters that pattern, create a new line.

I want the pattern to be the beginning...

Thanks, but I'm not sure what that printf is doing.

I was able to sort of get it to working by changing my code to :


nawk 'BEGIN { FIELDWIDTHS = "15 10" } ; { arr[$1] += $2 } END {for (i in...

Ok, new twist. The input file format has changed and no longer has delimiters in it. Here is an example.


9652013010129KM 1
9652013010129KM 4
9652013010129KN 4...

Thanks so much to both of you. I think nawk fixed the problem.

Thanks for your reply.

When I try your code, I get the following:


awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1


Here is my exact code that I tried:


awk 'BEGIN { FS =...

I'm trying to sum a text file using AWK. Here is an example of the file:


600|3H68| 46
600|3H69| 46
600|3H6F| 290
600|3H6G| 24
600|3HDY| 1
600|3HDY| ...

Thanks a bunch.

-i didn't work on my system, but moving it to a new file did work. Thanks so much for your help.

How can I edit this file then? Can I output the changes to a different filename? I just need to edit the dates, but can't figure it out.

I'm trying to change a date in a couple of large files using SED. The problem is when I use the -n parameter, it doesn't actually change the file. When I leave out the -n, it sends the whole file...

Sorry, i don't see any example that you sent on how to strip out the records in question.

Thanks. I have copied my original file.

Thanks everyone. The original answer actually worked for my purposes. Now, is there any way to remove those lines from the file and put them in another file?

I was able to put them in another...

Thanks! I'll give that a shot.

I am trying to find a specific set of characters in a long file. I only want to find the characters in column 265 for 4 bytes.

Is there a search for that? I tried cut but couldn't get it to...

PERFECT! Thanks so much. I knew it would be easy but it was driving me crazy.

I am having problems getting a list of filenames that I want from a directory.

I have another wrinkle to add. I create a test script with your code and it works. Thanks for that. I also ran it with my code and it works as well when run manually.

It looks like the problem...

Is it possible to use a variable as the delimiter using basename?

I have a num variable that will be changing in the filename now.

That worked! Can you give me a quick explanation of what it is doing? Sorry, I'm pretty new to scripting.
