Help please awk or cut
Hi I'm new to unix programming so struggling with something thats probably simple to many of you
I have data files of the format :
ID, date, value1, value2, blank
on each line either value1 or value2 will be zero. I need my output file to contain
ID, date, non-zero value
The input and output filenames need to be the same (extension can possibly be different). The ID is of variable length.
I've tried using cut and if to identify the non-zero field and have also played with summing value1 and value2 (if one is always zero then the result is correct). I've spent today trying to learn awk and have come up with a few wrong answers, can anybody help please
Thanks in anticipation

Hi, I'm very new to scripting.
grep $s $filename | awk '{print $2}' | cut -c 1-8
How can I optimize this using a single awk?
I tried:
awk '/$s/ {print $2}' $filename | cut -c 1-8
However didn't work, I think the awk is not recognizing $s and the verbal is something else. (6 Replies)
