thanks a lot for the reply!!

i want this to add only for "hello".. how to do that...? not generic..!! can anybody please help me to understand the above code too??

---------- Post updated at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous update was at 06:47 AM ----------

myfile
Code:
hru:122:
hello:123:john,philip,mary,kp,moss
hi:124:
bye:125:
hi:124:
bye:125:
hi:124:
bye:125:
tata:125:pipe,grep

How to modify the above script just to add the new value only to "hello" not for tata. Script should be some what like, search for hello and add the new value there. Each new values to be separated by a comma.. Sorry for not being so clear in my first post

So if the new value i have is foo, the modified file should be like this..

Code:
hru:122:
hello:123:john,philip,mary,kp,moss,foo
hi:124:
bye:125:
hi:124:
bye:125:
hi:124:
bye:125:
tata:125:pipe,grep

I modified the script like this..

Code:
awk -v val='foo' '!/:$/ {$0=$0 "," val}1' myfile > myfilenew
cat myfilenew > myfile
rm -rf myfilenew

bu the output im getting is like the following...

the new myfile
Code:
hru:122:
hello:123:john,philip,mary,kp,moss,foo
hi:124:
bye:125:
hi:124:
bye:125:
hi:124:
bye:125:
tata:125:pipe,grep,foo

It would be a great help if some one can help me in this.

nwgetconnlistfromobject

NWGETCONNLISTFROMOBJECT(3NCP)											     NWGETCONNLISTFROMOBJECT(3NCP)

NAME

       NWGetConnListFromObject - Retrieve connection list of specified object

SYNOPSIS

       #include <nwcalls.h>

       NWCCODE NWGetConnListFromObject(NWCONN_HANDLE conn, nuint32 objID, NWCONN_NUM firstConn, size_t* noOfReturnedConns, NWCONN_NUM* connList);

DESCRIPTION

       This function retrieves connection list of specified object from server.

       conn
	  conn contains connection handle obtained from ncp_open(3ncp) or NWParsePath(3ncp).

       objID
	  objID contains server specific object ID. For bindery, it is object ID, for NDS objects it is local entry number.

       firstConn
	  firstConn specifies, from which connection start search. Use 0 on first call and highest returned value on subsequent.

       noOfReturnedConns
	  noOfReturnedConns contains number of returned connections. It may be NULL, there is no reason for pass NULL into this function.  At most
	  125 connections are returned at once.

       connList
	  connList is array for returned connection numbers. It may be NULL, in this case, only noOfReturnedConns  is  returned.   connList  array
	  must be able to hold 125 entries.

RETURN VALUE

       Function returns zero on success and non-zero on failure.  If specified object does not exist, success is returned and noOfReturnedConns is
       set to zero.
       If noOfReturnedConns is 125, it is possible that list is incomplete and NWGetConnListFromObject should be invoked again for another set	of
       connections.

       See nwerrors(3ncp) for complete list of	error codes.

BUGS

       None known.
