(g)awk how to preseve white spaces (FS characters) or read a right subpart of $0?
Hi,
I am using gawk (--posix) for extracting some information from something like the following lines (in a text file):
sms_snath_hp_C/CORE BUILD PREREQUISITE:
total 1556
drwxrwxrwx 2 sn sn 4096 2008-06-27 08:31 ./
drwxrwxrwx 13 sn sn 4096 2009-07-22 14:48 ../
-rwxrwxrwx 1 sn sn 15348 2007-05-11 08:37 This is a file name with seven spaces.jar*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 sn sn 22395 2007-05-11 08:37 This is a file name with eight spaces.jar*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 sn sn 73687 2007-05-11 08:37 ibmjcefw.jar*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 sn sn 767101 2007-05-11 08:37 ibmjceprovider.jar*
With regular expressions (pattern matching) I am ignoring all the lines except the ones which are NOT directories with long listing format.
So I consider only:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 sn sn 15348 2007-05-11 08:37 This is a file name with seven spaces.jar*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 sn sn 22395 2007-05-11 08:37 This is a file name with eighteen spaces.jar*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 sn sn 73687 2007-05-11 08:37 ibmjcefw.jar*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 sn sn 767101 2007-05-11 08:37 ibmjceprovider.jar*
Question is: How do I get the file names with preserving the white spaces in between?
Note that the file has no embedded FS character, then it is just $8 and the problem is over. If the file name has embedded multiple FS characters, then I just do not want to concatenate $8 FS $9 FS $10 (etc in a loop) but I also want to have the multiplicity of the FS characters preserved.
(something like that "read v1 v2 v3 v4 v5 v6 v7 fileName" would do).
Thanks.

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN
jh_manifest
JH_MANIFEST(1) Javahelper JH_MANIFEST(1)
NAME
jh_manifest - Adds or/and modifies manifests for jars
SYNOPSIS
jh_manifest [debhelperoptions] [options] jar1 ... jarN
jh_manifest [debhelperoptions] [options]
DESCRIPTION
Javahelper tool to add or update manifests in a jar file. It can be used in two modes. If passed jar files, it will only process these jar
files. Otherwise it will update all jar files in the packages it acts on.
When processing a package, the debhelper(7) exclude option will make jh_manifest ignore matching jar files.
FILES
debian/package.manifest (or debian/manifest)
This file consist of a list of jar files and values to add to their manifests. Values in this file will take precedence over values in
the original manifest (and command line arguments over values in this file).
It is allowed to list a link in this file instead of an actual jar file, provided that the link can be resolved when jh_manifest
processes it.
If a jar file is listed here cannot be found, jh_manifest will print a warning, unless the jar file has been excluded.
As of javahelper >= 0.32, you may add comments in this file. If the line starts with a "#" it is completely ignored.
This file is ignored if jh_manifest is passed jar files via command line.
OPTIONS
-c classpath, --classpath=classpath
Sets the Class-Path attribute of all processed jar files to classpath.
If not passed, then the CLASSPATH environment variable will be used in the given jar file do not have a Class-Path attribute.
-m class, --main=class
Sets the Main-Class attribute to class in all processed jar files.
-o options, --javaopts=options
Sets the Debian-Java-Parameters to options in all processed jar files. This attribute is used by jarwrapper to start java with extra
options (e.g. to make more memory available).
-j /path/to/java/home, --java-home=/path/to/java/home
Sets the Debian-Java-Home attribute to /path/to/java/home in all processed jars. This attribute is used by jarwrapper to determine
which JVM to use.
EXAMPLES
An example debian/manifest file:
# use the symlink so we do not have to update with the next upstream release.
usr/share/java/my.jar:
Class-Path: dep1.jar dep2.jar
Main-Class: some.awesome.Class
usr/share/java/dep2.jar:
Class-Path: dep1.jar
SEE ALSO
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of javahelper and uses debhelper as backend. There are also tutorials in /usr/share/doc/javahelper.
