Need to parse file "x" lines at a time ... awk array?
I have files that store multiple data points for the same device "vertically" and include multiple devices. It repeats a consistant pattern of lines where for each line:
Column 1 is a common number for the entire file and all devices in that file Column 2 is a unique device number Column 3 is a unique identifier of the data point included on that line Column 4 is the unique data point
So above I have three devices (y1, y2 and y3) that all have three data points (a, b and c). One of the data points is a unique name, so I can discard $1,$2,$3 and I only want to retain $4. What I want to do is flatten the three data points into a single line per device:
Code:
name1,2.5,4
name2,3,5.5
name3,1,2
I have found a way to take a given set of lines, awk print $4 and insert them on the same line
But I need a loop to continue processing the next "x" lines.
Above is a simple view of what I'm trying to do. My files have 53 data points for every device. And the number of devices is "random". Therefore my loop that "ingests" 53 lines at a time and then spits them out on a single line needs to continue until the file is complete (do ; done < $1 ?). For example one file is 312,912 lines (5,904 devices x 53 data points) another is 318,000 lines (6,000 devices x 53 data points). Using sed I can do what I need to do on the first 53 lines of the file, but now I just need to insert it into a loop.
Hi Friends,
Can any of you explain me about the below line of code?
mn_code=`env|grep "..mn"|awk -F"=" '{print $2}'`
Im not able to understand, what exactly it is doing :confused:
Any help would be useful for me.

I am attempting to write a awk script that reads in a file after awk array elements are assigned and using those elements while reading in the new file. Does this make sense?

GREP(1) General Commands Manual GREP(1)NAME
grep, g - search a file for a pattern
SYNOPSIS
grep [ option ... ] pattern [ file ... ]
g [ option ... ] pattern [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Grep searches the input files (standard input default) for lines that match the pattern, a regular expression as defined in regexp(7) with
the addition of a newline character as an alternative (substitute for |) with lowest precedence. Normally, each line matching the pattern
is `selected', and each selected line is copied to the standard output. The options are
-c Print only a count of matching lines.
-h Do not print file name tags (headers) with output lines.
-e The following argument is taken as a pattern. This option makes it easy to specify patterns that might confuse argument parsing,
such as -n.
-i Ignore alphabetic case distinctions. The implementation folds into lower case all letters in the pattern and input before interpre-
tation. Matched lines are printed in their original form.
-l (ell) Print the names of files with selected lines; don't print the lines.
-L Print the names of files with no selected lines; the converse of -l.
-n Mark each printed line with its line number counted in its file.
-s Produce no output, but return status.
-v Reverse: print lines that do not match the pattern.
-f The pattern argument is the name of a file containing regular expressions one per line.
-b Don't buffer the output: write each output line as soon as it is discovered.
Output lines are tagged by file name when there is more than one input file. (To force this tagging, include /dev/null as a file name
argument.)
Care should be taken when using the shell metacharacters $*[^|()= and newline in pattern; it is safest to enclose the entire expression in
single quotes '...'. An expression starting with '*' will treat the rest of the expression as literal characters.
G invokes grep with -n and forces tagging of output lines by file name. If no files are listed, it searches all files matching
*.C *.b *.c *.h *.m *.cc *.java *.cgi *.pl *.py *.tex *.ms
