awk gsub simple problem
Hi
New to shell script and awk and need assistance on this problem. I need to use a variable to substitute a string in an external file and write the changed info to another file.
At first I did not know if you could use a variable as the sub value but the following showed me that I can.
echo "HI FROM STEVE" | awk '{ print $2; gsub(/STEVE/, $2); print }'
FROM
HI FROM FROM
This is the code that I have
ls -ltd @EOD4401* | sort +9 | head -n1 |
awk ' {{ {print $9 } print } ; gsub(/jobname/,$9 ); print }'
BPO_File_Template > cvtestfile
I have multiple directories as @EOD4401_0001, @EOD4401_0002 etc etc and I need to get the highest one and simply replace all text "jobname" in the file BPO_FILE_Template and write out to cvtestfile
The template file has
/mydir1/jobname
/midir2/jobname
but what gets written to cvtestfile is
/midir1/
/mydir2/
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

mdbfontencoding
mdbFontEncoding(5) The m17n Library mdbFontEncoding(5)
NAME
mdbFontEncoding - Font Encoding
DESCRIPTION
The m17n library loads information about the encoding of each font form the m17n database by the tags <font, encoding>. The data is loaded
as a plist of this format.
FONT-ENCODING ::= PER-FONT *
PER-FONT ::= '(' FONT-SPEC ENCODING [ REPERTORY ] ')'
FONT-SPEC ::=
'(' [ FOUNDRY FAMILY
[ WEIGHT [ STYLE [ STRETCH [ ADSTYLE ]]]]]
REGISTRY ')'
ENCODING ::= SYMBOL
FONT-SPEC is to specify properties of a font. FOUNDRY to REGISTRY are symbols corresponding to Mfoundry to Mregistry property of a font.
See m17nFont for the meaning of each property.
For instance, this FONT-SPEC:
(nil alice0 lao iso8859-1)
should be applied to all fonts whose family name is 'alice0 lao', and registry is 'iso8859-1'.
ENCODING is a symbol representing a charset. A font matching FONT-SPEC supports all characters of the charset, and a character code is
mapped to the corresponding glyph code of the font by this charset.
REPERTORY is a symbol representing a charset or 'nil'. Omitting it is the same as specifying ENCODING as REPERTORY. If it is not 'nil', the
charset specifies the repertory of the font, i.e, which character it supports. Otherwise, whether a specific character is supported by the
font or not is asked to each font driver.
For so called Unicode fonts (registry is 'iso10646-1'), it is recommended to specify 'nil' as REPERTORY because such fonts usually supports
only a subset of Unicode characters.
