check position of end of line for some specific lines
Thankyou very much for your immediate response.
But its giving some syntax error.
this is what i used.
shouldbe=94
srcFile=$1
awk -v e=$shouldbe '{ /^(620|705)/ if(length($0) != e){print "bad line ", NR} }' $srcFile
The error is below
==============
syntax error The source line is 1.
The error context is
{ /^(620|705)/ >>> if <<< (length($0) != e){print "bad line ", NR} }
awk: The statement cannot be correctly parsed.
The source line is 1.
Can you please correct it?
