Many thanks. That's made the code simpler for starters.
It's also sorted out the problems of the linebreaks in the second bit; but the lack of tabs and linebreaks in the awk command is still there.
Any thoughts on why?
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# Get Items from first half of email and sort the groups of lines
FILENAME=~/Desktop/email.txt
LIST=$(grep -B2 "Quantity" ${FILENAME} |awk 'BEGIN { FS = "\n"; RS = "--"; }
{ if ($4 != "")
printf ( $4 "\t" $2 "\t" $3 "\n")
else { printf ($3 "\t" $1 "\t" $2 "\n") }
}
END { }');
echo -e "$LIST" | sed -e 's/Quantity: //g' -e 's/"Price: "//g' > email2.txt
echo -e $LIST > email2.txt;
#Get Addresses from second half
ADDRESS=$(sed 's/*//g' "$FILENAME" );
echo -e "$ADDRESS" |awk -F: '/BILLING DETAILS/,/DELIVERY DETAILS/ { printf $2 "\n" }' >> email2.txt
Can you also explain the significance of askerisks in the text file being turned into a directory listing?
I was reading these 2 articles. Why does the wikia one think :e ++ff=dos? Or am I just misunderstanding it?

When you are dealing with ASCII files it easy to check on line endings type. You can just use the file command. You are not always lucky enough to be dealing with ASCII files. So in the cases that you don't have ASCII files how can you check what type of line endings you have? Please list all... (5 Replies)
I was reading this and thought I could put this in my vimrc and it would convert the line endings to unix. Am I doing something wrong or am I missing something?

Hi,
At the moment, using Notepad++ to do a search and replace, manually section by section which is real painful. Yeah, so copying each section of the line of text and putting into a file and then search and replace, need at least 3-operations in Notepad++.

IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)NAME
igawk - gawk with include files
SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...
DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).
AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like
@include getopt.awk
in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.
OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk
BEGIN {
while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
...
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
