Awk issue using int function
Hi,

I am having issue with awk command . This command is running in the command prompt but inside a shell script.

Code:
awk -F'| ' 'int($1)==$1 && int($3) ==$3' int_check.txt

Code:
$cat int_check.txt
123|abc|123x
234|def|345

When i run it inside a shell script i am getting the error
Code:
"bailing out near line no 1"

Can anyone help on this.??

Hi

Try using 'nawk' in place of 'awk'.

Code:
# awk -F'| ' 'int($1)==$1 &&int($3)==$3' int_check.txt
awk: illegal primary in regular expression |  at
 input record number 1, file int_check.txt
 source line number 1
# awk -F'|' 'int($1)==$1 &&int($3)==$3' int_check.txt
234|def|345

Remove the extra space from FS

When i try with nawk i m getting this error:
nawk: syntax error at source line 1
Code:
 context is
         >>> ${ <<<
nawk: bailing out at source line 1

Let me give extra info here.. probably it will help u to help me..

In this command
Code:
awk -F'| ' 'int($1)==$1 && int($3) ==$3' int_check.txt

the value "int($1)==$1 && int($3) ==$3" is obtained from a variable .. i am using that varaible here in the command

Something like this..
Code:
awk -F'| ' '$command' int_check.txt

try this
Code:
awk -F'| ' '{int($1)==$1 && int($3) ==$3}' int_check.txt

other example is :
Code:
awk -F":" '{ print $1 $3 }' /etc/passwd

and other


Code:
{
    if ( $5 ~ /root/ ) {
        print $3
    }
}
