Supressing and replacing the output of a field in Awk
Wondering if anybody can help with changing the output of a field. I'm needing to change the output of a field in this file:
User Process ID Time Active Licences Type
ChangeAdmin (Phys-agsdev/19353 212), start Wed 1/21 6:30 (linger: 1800)
u414013 (Phys-agsdev/19353 1491), start Wed 1/21 12:54 (linger: 1800)
z001429 (Phys-agsdev/19353 788), start Wed 1/21 13:03 (linger: 1800)
u414014 (Phys-agsdev/19353 1009), start Wed 1/21 10:34
z311203 (Phys-agsdev/19353 2368), start Wed 1/21 10:52
u414020 (Phys-agsdev/19353 879), start Wed 1/21 11:43
z311260 (Phys-agsdev/19353 1523), start Wed 1/21 12:17
oracled (Phys-agsdev/19353 555), start Wed 1/21 9:00
u414013 (Phys-agsdev/19353 1717), start Wed 1/21 12:56
The field which says "(linger: 1800)" is field 13. What I want to do is, if it contains "(linger: 1800)", I want it to say "ChangeBase", or if it is blank, I want it to say "CMBase". Here's the code I have, with an if statement, but it has no affect whatsoever!
BEGIN {
print
print "User Process ID Time Active Licence Type"
print
}
NF > 11{changebaselicences++}
NF < 12{cmbaselicences++}
{
if ($13 == / /) {print "CMBase"}
if ($13 ~ /linger/) {print "ChangeBase"}
print $4, $6, $7, $8, $9, $10, $11, $12, $13
}
END {
printf "\nUsers of SYNERGY-ChangeBase: (Total of 11 licenses issued; Total of %-2d", changebaselicences
print " licences in use)"
printf "\nUsers of SYNERGY-CMBase: (Total of 12 licenses issued; Total of %-2d", cmbaselicences
print " licences in use)"
print
}
Many thanks in advance.

JOIN(1) BSD General Commands Manual JOIN(1)
NAME
join -- relational database operator
SYNOPSIS
join [-a file_number | -v file_number] [-e string] [-o list] [-t char] [-1 field] [-2 field] file1 file2
DESCRIPTION
The join utility performs an ``equality join'' on the specified files and writes the result to the standard output. The ``join field'' is
the field in each file by which the files are compared. The first field in each line is used by default. There is one line in the output
for each pair of lines in file1 and file2 which have identical join fields. Each output line consists of the join field, the remaining
fields from file1 and then the remaining fields from file2.
The default field separators are tab and space characters. In this case, multiple tabs and spaces count as a single field separator, and
leading tabs and spaces are ignored. The default output field separator is a single space character.
Many of the options use file and field numbers. Both file numbers and field numbers are 1 based, i.e., the first file on the command line is
file number 1 and the first field is field number 1. The following options are available:
-a file_number
In addition to the default output, produce a line for each unpairable line in file file_number.
-e string
Replace empty output fields with string.
-o list
The -o option specifies the fields that will be output from each file for each line with matching join fields. Each element of list
has the either the form 'file_number.field', where file_number is a file number and field is a field number, or the form '0' (zero),
representing the join field. The elements of list must be either comma (',') or whitespace separated. (The latter requires quoting
to protect it from the shell, or, a simpler approach is to use multiple -o options.)
-t char
Use character char as a field delimiter for both input and output. Every occurrence of char in a line is significant.
-v file_number
Do not display the default output, but display a line for each unpairable line in file file_number. The options -v 1 and -v 2 may be
specified at the same time.
-1 field
Join on the field'th field of file 1.
-2 field
Join on the field'th field of file 2.
When the default field delimiter characters are used, the files to be joined should be ordered in the collating sequence of sort(1), using
the -b option, on the fields on which they are to be joined, otherwise join may not report all field matches. When the field delimiter char-
acters are specified by the -t option, the collating sequence should be the same as sort(1) without the -b option.
If one of the arguments file1 or file2 is ``-'', the standard input is used.
EXIT STATUS
The join utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
COMPATIBILITY
For compatibility with historic versions of join, the following options are available:
-a In addition to the default output, produce a line for each unpairable line in both file 1 and file 2.
-j1 field
Join on the field'th field of file 1.
-j2 field
Join on the field'th field of file 2.
-j field
Join on the field'th field of both file 1 and file 2.
-o list ...
Historical implementations of join permitted multiple arguments to the -o option. These arguments were of the form
'file_number.field_number' as described for the current -o option. This has obvious difficulties in the presence of files named
'1.2'.
These options are available only so historic shell scripts do not require modification. They should not be used in new code.
LEGACY DESCRIPTION
The -e option causes a specified string to be substituted into empty fields, even if they are in the middle of a line. In legacy mode, the
substitution only takes place at the end of a line.
Only documented options are allowed. In legacy mode, some obsolete options are re-written into current options.
For more information about legacy mode, see compat(5).

STANDARDS
The join command conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
