Full Discussion: Replace tr/sed with awk
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Replace tr/sed with awk Post 302142293 by philplasma on Thursday 25th of October 2007 09:27:53 AM

Thanks for the really helpful tips, but so far no luck. I need to use tr because both awk and sed are getting stuck on the line length. The length of the lines in this pollfile is greater than 20,000 characters, the awk command gives me this message:
Code:
awk: line 0 (NR=0): line too long: limit 20000

while the new and improved sed command gives me this message:
Code:
input line too long

When I run tr manually I get the desired results with the original line of code I started with. When it runs from the service I get the error message, so the problem must be within the service. I've logged a defect with the dev group in my company to see if they can isolate the problem in the service.

Thanks for all of your help, I was hoping awk could bypass the problem, but because of the line length it isn't working.

uudemon.cleanu

uudemon(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual							uudemon(4)

NAME

       uudemon.admin,  uudemon.cleanu,	uudemon.hour,  uudemon.poll  -	Administrative shell scripts for polling remote systems, cleaning up spool
       directories, reporting status to the system administrator, and routine invocations of the uuxqt and uusched daemons

SYNOPSIS

       These shell scripts reside in the following directory:
	  /usr/lib/uucp

DESCRIPTION

       All the scripts can be run from the command line or can be run automatically by the cron daemon. To automatically run the  scripts,  remove
       the comment character (#) from the beginning of the relevant line in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/uucp file.

       This  script  reports  status  to  the system administrator. It issues the uustat command to find out the status of uucp jobs. It mails the
       results to the uucp login ID. The script may be modified to send mail to any login ID such as the uucp administrative login ID  (uucpa)	or
       root.  This script cleans up the /var/spool/uucp and /var/spool/uucppublic directories by running the uucleanup command. The uucleanup com-
       mand is run with the following parameters: -C7, -D7, X2, -o2, -W1.  This script runs the uusched and uuxqt daemons in the background.  This
       script  polls  the  systems  listed  in	the  /usr/lib/uucp/Poll file.  The uudemon.poll script should be scheduled before the uudemon.hour
       script. This allows uudemon.poll to create any command files before cron runs the uudemon.hour script.

FILES

       Contains the uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour and uudemon.poll files.  Contains the uucp file.

RELATED INFORMATION

       Commands: cron(8), uucleanup(8), uusched(8), uuxqt(1)

       Files: /usr/lib/uucp delim off
