Shell Programming and Scripting

Do you see any difference between the code you ran above and the code I suggested below?

Code:

awk -F, '
BEGIN {OFS = ", "
}
/Test failed/ {
	match($(NF - 3), "http:.*/see/")
	URL = substr($(NF - 3), RSTART, RLENGTH)
	if(match($0, /"Test failed[^"]*"/))
		print $3, substr($0, RSTART, RLENGTH), URL
	else	print $3, $8, URL
}' FILE

None of the code marked in red matches between the two. In addition to that you have removed all of the indentation which makes the code I suggested easy to read and the code you used hard to read. In particular, on the line that generated the diagnostic, my code had a tab between else and print which is not at all compatible with the code you used with those three words changing to the two words elseprint $3.

If you try running the code I suggested, you will probably find that it works much better than the abomination of the code I suggested that you tried running.

The only change that should have been made to the code I suggested would be to change FILE at the end of the script to the actual pathname of the file you want to process.

Respected Sir,

trust me i use same piece of code what you gave and my file name is also same
but it is not giving space in screen between else and print
no i break the line after else and it worked

If the code you paste onto your screen doesn't look like the code you copied from this site, then the code you are running is not the same piece of code that you were given.

So now you know that copying and pasting code into a shell when filename completion is enabled in that shell DOES NOT WORK. Even if filename completion is disabled, pasting multi-line code or code containing tab characters might not do what you expect depending on what options are enabled in your shell.

When sample code is suggested for you in this forum, the proper way to handle it is to copy into a file and then tell your shell to execute that file. If you use an editor to copy code into a file, be sure that auto-indentation is turned off and that your editor is set to use UNIX text file format (with each line terminated by a <newline> character; not DOS format with <carriage-return><line-feed> character pairs as line terminators).

Please close this thread

I have tagged the thread with "solved" and "awk" tags which indicate that awk was used to provide a working solution to your problem (which you could have easily done yourself).

Why do you want to close the thread now? Do you really want to forbid someone else with a better solution from adding a post to this thread with their suggestion?
