Reading a pipe delimited file
Hi Guys,

i am reading a pipe delimited file using awk command.

Quote:
CtrlFileCnt = `/bin/gawk -F"|" '{ print $1 }' $ControlFile`;
CtrlFileByte = `/bin/gawk -F"|" '{ print $2 }' $ControlFile`;
CtrlFileSalesDate = `/bin/gawk -F"|" '{ print $3 }' $ControlFile`;
CtrlFileStatus = `/bin/gawk -F"|" '{ print $4 }' $ControlFile`;
I have tested the gawk separately. it was fine.

But when i execute the script. i am getting the following error saying command not found.

Quote:
++ /bin/gawk '-F|' '{ print $1 }' /appl/data/VSTAR_Release1/global_daily/landing/GMUS/DAILYSLS_US_LOAD.ctl
+ CtrlFileCnt = 000000150969
DailyUsPrevalidationScript.sh: line 14: CtrlFileCnt: command not found
++ /bin/gawk '-F|' '{ print $2 }' /appl/data/VSTAR_Release1/global_daily/landing/GMUS/DAILYSLS_US_LOAD.ctl
+ CtrlFileByte = 00001285
DailyUsPrevalidationScript.sh: line 15: CtrlFileByte: command not found
++ /bin/gawk '-F|' '{ print $3 }' /appl/data/VSTAR_Release1/global_daily/landing/GMUS/DAILYSLS_US_LOAD.ctl
+ CtrlFileSalesDate = 20110524
DailyUsPrevalidationScript.sh: line 16: CtrlFileSalesDate: command not found
++ /bin/gawk '-F|' '{ print $4 }' /appl/data/VSTAR_Release1/global_daily/landing/GMUS/DAILYSLS_US_LOAD.ctl
+ CtrlFileStatus = New $'Load\r'
DailyUsPrevalidationScript.sh: line 17: CtrlFileStatus: command not found
Can somebody point out as what i am doing wrong.

Cheers!!!

remove the extra spaces while assiging to a variables .. modified one .. try with this ..
Code:
CtrlFileCnt=`/bin/gawk -F"|" '{ print $1 }' $ControlFile`;

Thanks Jay,,,
one more thing.

Can you tell me what is wrong with this command.

Quote:
wc -l /appl/data/VSTAR_Release1/global_daily/landing/GMUS/DAILYSLS_US_LOAD.txt | read SrcFileCnt dummy

if you try with the above one, nothing will be assigned to the variables SrcFileCnt and dummy

Better try in this way ..

Code:
$ wc -l filename | read line line1
$ echo $line
$
$ echo $line1
$
$ line=$(wc -l < filename)
$ echo $line
3
$

PS: If you have any new query, please post as a new post. So it would be helpful for others too .. Smilie Thanks for the co-operation..
