Full Discussion: Cut 2 fields and write to a output file
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Cut 2 fields and write to a output file Post 302394072 by msalam65 on Wednesday 10th of February 2010 11:20:30 AM

If field9 already have data populated then we need to leave the data "As Is". Else we take 2nd part of data from field2, if field2 have ATTN, C/O or %, and move it to field9 on output.

Thanks....

Code:
 
For Example :
 
Input Record : 
 
Record 1 : 123 Main St ATTN  James Bond |John Smith 
Record 2 : 199 6th St C/O Mary Jones |
 
Output should be : 
Record 1 : 123 Main St |John Smith 
Record 2 : 199 6th St| Mary Jones

tee

TEE(1)								   User Commands							    TEE(1)

NAME

       tee - read from standard input and write to standard output and files

SYNOPSIS

       tee [OPTION]... [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION

       Copy standard input to each FILE, and also to standard output.

       -a, --append
	      append to the given FILEs, do not overwrite

       -i, --ignore-interrupts
	      ignore interrupt signals

       -p     diagnose errors writing to non pipes

       --output-error[=MODE]
	      set behavior on write error.  See MODE below

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit

   MODE determines behavior with write errors on the outputs:
       'warn' diagnose errors writing to any output

       'warn-nopipe'
	      diagnose errors writing to any output not a pipe

       'exit' exit on error writing to any output

       'exit-nopipe'
	      exit on error writing to any output not a pipe

       The default MODE for the -p option is 'warn-nopipe'.  The default operation when --output-error is not specified, is to exit immediately on
       error writing to a pipe, and diagnose errors writing to non pipe outputs.
