Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users can awk built-in "match" be exact?? Post 302276605 by farphe on Wednesday 14th of January 2009 07:58:40 AM

good point otheus...

well by that I mean that I'd like to compare each "field" of str1 (all fields being separated by a coma) and test if they match str3 (exactly). So basically I want to compare name1 to name, then name2 to name, then name3 to name... and check if they are exactly the same (in which case name1 compared to name is a false)

hum... not so clear, is it?
But maybe I'm simply not doing things the easier way...
