Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello rahulsk,

I am not sure I got your point here, following is the output mentioned by user(for a single line):

Code:

OL,10031,1,Day
OL,10031,2,Black
OL,10031,3,Midi
OL,10031,4,Good
OL,10031,5,Value

After running my code as follows is the output for all lines:

Code:

while read line; do echo $line | awk -F"|" '{for(i=3;i<=7;i++){print $1 "," $2 "," ++q "," $i};q=""}'; done < "Input_file"

Output of above code is as follows:

Code:

OL,10031,1,Day
OL,10031,2,Black
OL,10031,3,Midi
OL,10031,4,Good
OL,10031,5,Value
OL,10031,1,Day
OL,10031,2,Black
OL,10031,3,Short
OL,10031,4,Good
OL,10031,5,Value

I think code is providing the output similar to what OP has requested. Your opinions are welcomed in case I missed anything here, thank you.

Thanks,
R. Singh

Hi All,

Many thanks for this quick help.
