Shell Programming and Scripting

yes the file exist in the path and working fine when tried with Ravinder's command.

@Ravinder,

Your commands were worked fine on windows server If it is installed with any shell application(the machine against which I tested earlier have a shell application installed and thus awk & sed commands were recognized).

But we may have all the machines with that application installed and awk is failed to execute as OS unable to understand this command.

Below is the script working fine w/ machines installed with shell application.

Code:

net users Admin  > c:\groupList.txt

awk '{gsub(/\r/,X,$0);print}' c:\groupList.txt > c:\groupList1.txt

awk '/Local Group Memberships/ {A=1}/Global Group memberships/ {A=0} A{ match($0,/\*.*/);B=substr($0,RSTART,RLENGTH);sub(/\*/,X,B);sub(/[[:space:]]\*/,"\n",B);      print B      }' c:\groupList1.txt > c:\groupListTemp.txt

sed -e 's/ *$//g' c:\groupListTemp.txt > c:\groupListTemp1.txt

for /f "usebackq delims=" %%X in ("c:\groupListTemp1.txt") do (NET LOCALGROUP "%%X" Admin /delete)

Would you mind to assist in changing above awk and sed command to windows equivalent commands.

Hello Manoj,

If you want to avoid all the ugliness of the full path to awk, you need to update your PATH variable to include the path to the directory where awk is located, then you can just type awk to run your programs.

Go to Control Panel->System->Advanced and set your PATH environment variable to include "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32" at the end (separated by a semi-colon) from previous entry. You can download and run the setup file. This should install your AWK in "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32". You can run the awk or gawk command from the bin folder or add the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin to your PATH.

NOTE: I have attached the screen shot for same.

Hi Rajesh,

We can't install any 3rd party application in those servers due to organization standard and security policy. So for few servers awk and sed command will not work. We need to find windows equivalence command may be commands that support batch programming syntax.

I find a command like findstr equivalent to awk in shell but it not getting exact syntax to capture all data in between specified strings(Local Group Memberships and Global Group Memberships)

In the previous reply there is a typo. actually I meant to say we may not but mentioned we may.

"We may not have all the machines with that application installed and awk is failed to execute as OS unable to understand this command. "
