Replacing the last field of a line.
Hi,
I wrote a script which extracts data from 2 tables (joining the tables together) and outputs the fields to a csv file. the output may look something like scenario 1: a,b,c,d,1,2,3,4 or scenario 2: a,b,c,d,,,, now, in the second scenario, there are some empty fields at the end of the line. Basically what I need to do is insert a "0" in the last field if it comes back empty after the database extraction, and i'm not sure how I can do this. Any help? thanks,

One way:
file: Code:
a,b,c,d,,,, a,b,c,d,1,2,3,4 Code:
a,b,c,d,,,,0 a,b,c,d,1,2,3,4 Code:
awk ' {
if(substr($0,length($0))==",")
{ print $0 "0" }
else
{ print $0 }
}' filename
