Tried this and nothing happened what did I do wrong
Thanks for the quick response, when I first rant this all my sample records went to the bad file. Then I realized, that there are 13 fields but only 12 pipes.
Some I eliminated 1 " [^|]*|" and re-ran and got the following, what portion does i field represent:
Code:
sed '/^[^|]*|[^|]*|[^|]*|[^|]*|[^|]*|[^|]*|[^|]*|[^|]*|[^|]*|[^|]*|[^|]*|[^|]*|[^|]*|[^|]*|$/{w good_list d}' sample.txt > bad_list
and got the following error message:
Code:
sed: -e expression #1, char 0: unmatched `{'
---------- Post updated at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous update was at 05:04 PM ----------
I got fat fingers:
Code:
sed '
/^[^|]*|[^|]*|[^|]*|[^|]*|[^|]*|[^|]*|[^|]*|[^|]*|[^|]*|[^|]*|[^|]*|[^|]*|[^|]*$/{
w good_list
d
}
' < sample.var > bad_list
So can you give me a brief description on how it doe this

LEARN ABOUT OPENSOLARIS
pipe
pipe(2) System Calls pipe(2)NAME
pipe - create an interprocess channel
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int pipe(int fildes[2]);
DESCRIPTION
The pipe() function creates an I/O mechanism called a pipe and returns two file descriptors, fildes[0] and fildes[1]. The files associated
with fildes[0] and fildes[1] are streams and are both opened for reading and writing. The O_NDELAY, O_NONBLOCK, and FD_CLOEXEC flags are
cleared on both file descriptors. The fcntl(2) function can be used to set these flags.
A read from fildes[0] accesses the data written to fildes[1] on a first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis and a read from fildes[1] accesses the
data written to fildes[0] also on a FIFO basis.
Upon successful completion pipe() marks for update the st_atime, st_ctime, and st_mtime fields of the pipe.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The pipe() function will fail if:
EMFILE More than {OPEN_MAX} file descriptors are already in use by this process.
ENFILE The number of simultaneously open files in the system would exceed a system-imposed limit.

Since a pipe is bi-directional, there are two separate flows of data. Therefore, the size (st_size) returned by a call to fstat(2) with
argument fildes[0] or fildes[1] is the number of bytes available for reading from fildes[0] or fildes[1] respectively. Previously, the
size (st_size) returned by a call to fstat() with argument fildes[1] (the write-end) was the number of bytes available for reading from
fildes[0] (the read-end).
