redirect to a file based on a value in a field
Hi all! Is it possible with awk to redirect all the records of a file that match a string in a field to a specific file. input.tab: Code:
aaaaa|bbbbbb|KKKKK cccccc|dddddd|SSSSS eeeeee|ffffffff|SSSSS ggggg|hhhhhh|KKKKK redirected to 2 separate files depending on the value in $3: output_1.tab (only lines with "KKKKK" in $3): Code:
aaaaa|bbbbbb|KKKKK ggggg|hhhhhh|KKKKK output_2.tab (only lines with "SSSSS" in $3): Code:
cccccc|dddddd|SSSSS eeeeee|ffffffff|SSSSS If someone could give me a clue, it would be great ! Thx ! |

You can put the right filename in a string, depending on the value of $3. Then you can use: Code:
print > string To print to that file... |

FILENAME is a built-in variable but it would not be useful here, as it contains the name of the current input file, in this case "input.tab" ..
