Assign o/p of awk to a variable
 Hi UNIX gurus,I am facing a typical problem while assigining while assigining output of awk to a variable. I have a fixed length file say myinputfile.txt When I allow the value/output of an awk to be redirected to a file, it works fine. i.e. awk "/^.{232}$acctNum/ { printf(\"%s;Y;Account#\n\",substr(\$0,241,1)) ; exit} " myinputfile.txt >> mylogfile.txt However, when I try to assign the the value of same to a variable, and then echo the variable, it displays blank.i.e. myvariable=`awk "/^.{232}$acctNum/ { printf(\"%s;Y;Account#\n\",substr(\$0,241,1)) ; exit} " myinputfile.txt` Can somebody please help. |

Only awk is working fine. However, while assigning the same to variable, it is not working.
My Sample Inputfile is as shown below: MyAdd1 MyAdd2 MyAdd3 MyAdd4 MyAdd5 Sachin Tendulkar 222 222-2222 11111111111111A0000111122223333XYX YourAdd1 YourAdd2 YourAdd3 YourAdd4 YourAdd5 Rahul Dravid 111 121-5555 22222222222222B0123456789123456XYX (In above example, spaces are getting truncated in this forum) Basically, position 233-240 denotes account number. Also, by substring, I am trying to extract 241 character. |
