Hi,

instead of counting 4 numbers from the search, is it possible to print line by line as an user ?


codeis====
user=`echo $record | awk -F, '{print $1}'`


ldapsearch -h ldap uid="$user" uid ou eriMasterDomain eriCountry eriResignDate | \
egrep "^ou=|^eriMasterDomain=|^uid=|^eriCountry= ="|\
print "$user"


nawk 'BEGIN{ORS=" ";DoCR=0}{DoCR=DoCR+1;if((DoCR % 4)==0){print $1 "\n"}else{print $1 " "}}' >> /opt/app/cdm/home/cdm/xshah
eg/ldap/eamcs_output.txt
================

I need to print each user line by line irrespective of his informatiuon...

like----
nawk " if user id is equal then print that line( all info country, domain) otherwise goto next line---------


thanks in advance...
