Help with awk'ing formatting this
Hi,

I have a file below that I am wanting to awk. The lines of relevance are lines 7 and 9

Code:
$ nl /tmp/x

$

At the moment what I am doing is re-directing both lines to a file each using sed. Is there any way that I can awk it right away once I re-direct the output to a file?

The line that is important is line 7, I was hoping I can reference each field based on each heading. For example, if want to be able access SHORTP_POLICY and shows 720 :-)

I do not have much control on how the output looks like and I hope it stays this way even on future Oracle upgrades ... grrr ....

FYI, shell that I am using is ksh.

Any feedback much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

With well over a hundred posts in the UNIX & Linux Forums, you should know that to be able to help we need a lot more details:
  1. What are you using to create /tmp/x?
  2. What sed commands are you using to redirect output to other files?
  3. Do lines 7 and 9 in /tmp/x contain tabs or just spaces?
  4. How exactly do you want to refer to a field and what results do you want when you refer to that field?
  5. And, most importantly, what have you tried?

With some searching in these fora you could have dreamed up a solution yourself, as quite similar problems have been posted here before. Anyhow - try this and adapt to your needs:
Code:
awk     'FNR==9         {for (n=1; n<=NF; n++) if ($n==SRCH) {COL=n; break};  next}
         FNR==11        {print SRCH ":" $COL}
        ' SRCH="SHORTP_POLICY"  file
SHORTP_POLICY:720

The lines you are looking for are lines 9 and 11, resp., as nl does not count empty lines if not asked to do so.
