awk script

Hello,..

I'm new to UNIX and been learning a lot but still have a lot to learn. I've been trying to figure this one out but I'm stumped. I'm trying to write an awk script for a file that has 5 records each with 5 fields delimited by a colon. Such as..

Name1:State:y:n:y
Name2:State:n:n:y
Name3:State:y:n:n
....

The first field is the persons name, the second field is the state then followed by a y (yes) or a n (no). The output should look like this:

Name:State:2

In other words, I need to add up the y's. So I'm guessing that first I would need to change the y to a 1 and the n to a 0. Then add the 1's and then print -- all using an awk script.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even just a hint would help a lot. Thanks in advance. Smilie

AppConfig::CGI(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					 AppConfig::CGI(3)

NAME
AppConfig::CGI - Perl5 module for processing CGI script parameters. SYNOPSIS
use AppConfig::CGI; my $state = AppConfig::State->new(\%cfg); my $cgi = AppConfig::CGI->new($state); $cgi->parse($cgi_query); $cgi->parse(); # looks for CGI query in environment OVERVIEW
AppConfig::CGI is a Perl5 module which implements a CGI interface to AppConfig. It examines the QUERY_STRING environment variable, or a string passed explicitly by parameter, which represents the additional parameters passed to a CGI query. This is then used to update variable values in an AppConfig::State object accordingly. AppConfig::CGI is distributed as part of the AppConfig bundle. DESCRIPTION
USING THE AppConfig::CGI MODULE To import and use the AppConfig::CGI module the following line should appear in your Perl script: use AppConfig::CGI; AppConfig::CGI is used automatically if you use the AppConfig module and create an AppConfig::CGI object through the cgi() method. AppConfig::CGI is implemented using object-oriented methods. A new AppConfig::CGI object is created and initialised using the new() method. This returns a reference to a new AppConfig::CGI object. A reference to an AppConfig::State object should be passed in as the first parameter: my $state = AppConfig::State->new(); my $cgi = AppConfig::CGI->new($state); This will create and return a reference to a new AppConfig::CGI object. PARSING CGI QUERIES The "parse()" method is used to parse a CGI query which can be specified explicitly, or is automatically extracted from the "QUERY_STRING" CGI environment variable. This currently limits the module to only supporting the GET method. See AppConfig for information about using the AppConfig::CGI module via the cgi() method. AUTHOR
