Good morning all. I have been running into a problem running a simple gawk script that selects every third line from an input file and writes it to an output file.
I am attempting to run this command from a batch file at the command line. I have several hundred files to perform this operation on and it would sure be handy to be able to just work up a quick batch file and let it fly.
The script works fine from the command line. Very slow though since I must do one file at a time and change the file name between each run. Tedious to say the least and I have been up all night now.
The problem that I am having appears to be related to the %3 qualifier in the script. When run from a batch file I do not get an error message. I get an empty file and the screen output at the command line shows the code interpreted as
I have tried backslashing the %, enclosing it in double-quotes, enclosing each character in double-quotes, double-quotes and double backslashes, etc. All the combinations that my tired mind could conjure. No joy.
I am beginning to think that gawk will not pass this particular character to the command line from a Windows batch file. I have looked around various forums, read the books that I have, and can find nothing to guide me.
I would be thrilled if someone had a solution to the problem of grabbing every third line from a file and dumping to text output. Perl or gawk preferred. Other options will be considered.
Thanks for looking. 10000Springs (BC)
You could try to escape the "%":

docbook2gjots
DOCBOOK2GJOTS(1) General Commands Manual DOCBOOK2GJOTS(1)NAME
docbook2gjots - Convert a DOCBOOK file to gjots format (on stdout)
SYNOPSIS
docbook2gjots [ DOCBOOK-file ]
DESCRIPTION
docbook2gjots converts a DOCBOOK XML file into gjots format.
docbook2gjots uses gawk(1) to perform the conversion.
<preface>, <chapter>, <section>, <sect1>, <sect2>, <sect3> and <sect4> tags are used to define NewEntry and NewFolder boundaries. They
should definitely have <title> tags.
This is a quick and dirty hack using gawk(1) and does no formal checking of XML or SGML syntax nor does it validate against the DOCBOOK
DTD. Consequently, if the syntax of the file is broken the conversion will probably fail.
It is intended that a round-trip can be made so that gjots(1) can be used as a tool at all stages of DOCBOOK production - mainly as an out-
line processor to help the author organise and order the work. A document may well start its life in gjots(1) as the initial thoughts are
marshalled. As the document forms up, it can be converted to DOCBOOK with the following command which automatically adds tags such as
<?xml...>, <para> etc:
gjots2docbook -b file.gjots >file.xml
docbook2pdf file.xml
Or, starting with an existing DOCBOOK file:
docbook2gjots file.xml >file.gjots
In the latter case, the document will already have a lot of DOCBOOK tags so to convert back to docbook, add the -e and -p options:
gjots2docbook -b -p -e file.gjots >file.xml
docbook2pdf file.xml
