Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi

Can anyone help with this awk command??????

awk '/name:/','/DOB:/' somefile | grep -v something | cut -f2 -d":" | cut -f2 -d" " > somefilename

This works perfectly well and the content of the file looks like this:

name
dob
name
dob
etc
etc

However, I would like the file to look like this:

name : dob
name : dob
etc
etc
etc

Is this possible using awk and would I also have to use a for i command also????

Would appreciate any input.

Thanks in advance

Please post a sample of your input file and an example of the desired output.

The input file is a massive list of the following:
Installation: Internal
== Site Type: ??????
== Owning Society: ???????
== Operator: ???????
== CIT Depot: ????????
== New Name: ????????
== ATM Name: ????????
== Subnet IP: ?????????
== Router IP: ?????????
== IP Address: ?????????
== Subnet Mask: ????????
== Assigned PORT: ??????????

I am trying to get all the ATM Name and corresponding Router IP into one file.

The command I am using is writing to the file like so:

ATM Name: ????????
Router IP: ????????
ATM Name: ????????
Router IP: ????????
ATM Name: ????????
Router IP: ????????
ATM Name: ????????
Router IP: ????????

I need it to look like :

ATM Name: ????????, Router IP: ????????
ATM Name: ????????, Router IP: ????????
ATM Name: ????????, Router IP: ????????

Code:

awk '/ATM Name/ {saveit=substr($0,4)};/Router IP/{print saveit ", " substr($0,4)}' inputfile

This worked a treat

Thanks alot. Saved my head ache no end...............
