I did some searching, but I still don't understand why I'm not seeing any result.
The reason is you set "vdate"s value to the output of the command "date +...", overwriting whatever the user might have entered. The "date" command does not format any value supposed to represent some date, but gives back the system date (and time) in the format specified.
I have slightly modified your script and it should work as expected, as long as the user enters the date in a correct format. No input validation is being performed in the script. Notice that i have replaced the (outmoded) backticks with the modern and recommended "$(...)" construct, used "read"s capability to display a message preeding the input field (which is saving the "echo") and replaced the "grep" with the built-in functionality of awk as you use this anyway. There is no necessity to use two tools when one already suffices. :
I need to pass a parameter that will then be grepped.
I need it to grep /paramater and then have a space
so if 123 was passed my grep would be grep '/123 ' sample.log
this works fine from the command line
but when i try and set it searchThis="/$2 "
and then run grep $searchThis... (6 Replies)
I have a list of fields that I want to check a file for, returning that field if it not found at all in the file. Is there a way to do a grep -lc and return the passed variable too rather then just the count?

Hi All,
I need to recursively grep several folders for a MAC address and display the results with the date of the file name at the start. Even better would be if the final results were displayed chronologically so the newest file is always at the end. Oldest at the top, regardless of what... (8 Replies)
I have a script which reads a number out of a log file. The pertinent line is this:

When I run cat /tmp/listofnumbers what I am seeing is on each line.
I am trying to make the script read from that file and grep for a variable like the following line should do:

I have a lot of files with keywords and unique names. I'm using a shell script to refer to a simple pattern file with comma separated values in order to match on certain keywords. The problem is that I don't understand how to handle the wildcard values when I want to skip over the unique names.

ncab2clf(1) User Commands ncab2clf(1)NAME
ncab2clf - convert binary log file to Common Log File format
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/ncab2clf [-Dhv] [-i input-file] [-o output-file] [-b size] [-n number] [-s datetime]
DESCRIPTION
The ncab2clf command is used to convert the log file generated by the Solaris Network Cache and Accelerator ("NCA") from binary format, to
Common Log File ("CLF") format. If no input-file is specified, ncab2clf uses stdin. If no output-file is specified, the output goes to std-
out.
OPTIONS -b Specifies the binary-log-file blocking in kilobytes; the default is 64 Kbyte.
-D Specifies that direct I/O be disabled.
-h Prints usage message.
-i input-file Specifies the input file.
-n number Output number CLF records.
-o output-file Specifies the output file.
-s datetime Skip any records before the date and time specified in datetime. You can specify the date and time in CLF format or in the
format specified by the touch(1) utility. CLF format is the dominant format, so ncab2clf first analyzes datetime assuming
CLF.
-v Provides verbose output.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Converting a Binary File to a Common Log File Format
The following example converts the binary file /var/nca/logs/nca.blf to a file /var/nca/logs/nca.clf, which is in Common Log File format.
example% ncab2clf -D -i /var/nca/logs/nca.blf -o /var/nca/logs/nca.clf
Example 2: Converting Multiple Log Files
The following script may be used to convert multiple log files. The directory designated by "*" must only contain log files.
!/bin/ksh
for filename in *
do
ncab2clf -D < $filename > $filename.clf
done
Example 3: Using -s and -n on a Raw Device
The following example shows how ncab2clf can be used on a raw device. If not using the -n option, the default is to convert all records
from the starting location to the end of the file. The date and time specified with -s, below, is in CLF format.
example% ncab2clf -s '10/Apr/2001:09:23:13' -n 100 < /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s6
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 The file converted successfully
>0 An error occurred.

NOTES
The binary log files generated by NCA can become very large. When converting these large binary files, use the -b option to the ncab2clf
command to help performance.
Direct I/O is a benefit to the user if the data being written does not come in as large chunks. However, if the user wishes to convert the
log file in large chunks using the -b option, then direct I/O should be disabled by using the -D option.
