A bit convoluted, but unfortunately nawk doesn't deal too well with arrays of arrays - had to jump through hoops.
Assumption: the key is the FIRST field. Code:
BEGIN { FS=OFS="^" ; FSlist=","}
function add2list( i,idx,n,cell,j,found,list)
{
for(i=2; i<= NF; i++) {
idx=$1 SUBSEP i
n=split(arr[idx], cell, SUBSEP)
for(j=1; j<=n; j++)
if ( $i == cell[j] ) { found=1; break }
if (!found) cell[++n] = $i
for(j=1; j<=n; j++)
list=(j>1) ? list SUBSEP cell[j] : cell[j]
arr[idx]=list
found=0
}
}
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
{
add2list()
nf=NF
}
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
END {
for (i in arr) {
split(i, idxA, SUBSEP)
printf("%s", idxA[1])
for(j=2; j<=nf; j++) {
idx=idxA[1] SUBSEP j
printf("%s", OFS)
if ( idx in arr ) {
n=split(arr[idx], vals, SUBSEP)
for(k=1; k <= n; k++)
printf("%s%s", vals[k], (k<n) ? FSlist : "")
delete arr[idx]
}
}
printf("\n")
}
}

Quote:
An array INDEX can be multi-dimentional, e.g array[index1, index2,...,indexN]. But an array CELL can only hold a scalar [not at array], e.g. one cannot do array[index1,index2] = anotherArray - at least in older gawk and the Solaris' stock nawk.

You are quite correct, hence my earlier statement that "arrays within arrays" can be "faked" - I knew that being lazy would get me into trouble!
The point is that the extra dimensions act as array sets themselves and so although not strictly a distinct instance of an (sub)array it can emulate the construct. So... List #1 elements has child items in List #2 the child items of which are in List #3 Rather than a pointer in each that identifies the child array, a single array is used but with multi-dimensions, the number of which reflect the total number of tiers (i.e. 3 in this case) List[List#1-Index,List#2-Index,List#3-Index] There are plenty of opportunities for this to go screwy but it can be used to good effect if handled carefully enough. As I recall (i.e. I may be making this up as I go along...  ), awk uses associative arrays and so large subscript ranges in multi-dimensions are not resource hungry. That is, it is only as big as the total number of used unique combinations.Pros: It doesn't allocate resource at declaration time Cons: It doesn't allocate resource at declaration time  When people call me a "complete nawker" I've always taken it as a complimentLast edited by Simerian; 06-22-2005 at 09:04 AM.
