I cannot figure out how I can do a search in a file that has Names, Surnames, Addresses and telephone number of a number of people.
Here is an example of the data file
Code:
Daisy:Hunter:490 London Road:07313196347
Richard:Murphy:983 Main Road:07002625997
Isobel:Magnusson:133 London Road:01036429709
Jim:Yates:421 Dickenson Road:07622293238
Jenny:Yates:467 Victoria Place:01278874246
Daisy:Edwards:66 Daisy Avenue:01852487687
Ruth:Taylor:592 Dickenson Road:01869919954
Jenny:Yates:941 Wilmslow Road:01681041319
Adam:Smith:946 Main Road:07914868675
Richard:Richards:88 Birch Grove:01264290192
Jenny:Taylor:217 Victoria Place:07337349573
Jim:Jones:337 Wilmslow Road:07404751140
Fred:Jones:935 Dickenson Road:07435197378
Ruth:Murphy:336 Summer Place:07015113018
The data file is called addresses,
I want using awk programming system and grep to do the following two things.
1. Put all the lines that have Daisy as the name of the person in a file called daisy_name.txt
2. Put all the lines that have Daisy as the name of the street (address) in a file called daisy_address.txt
I cannot use a simple
Code:
grep -i "daisy" < addresses > daisy_name.txt
because some lines have Daisy as the name of the person and some other lines as the name of the address street.
Please Help me if you can.
Thanks guys
