Hello,
Is there anyway that I can align a pipe delimited text file by the maxium field length where the field is separated out by pipes for large text files with more than
100,000 rows?
So, far I have searched other forums and google about aligning text files in unix and I have noticed that several other users use the awk utility. Since I am new to awk
I have attempted in writing my own code after reading some of the awk utility syntax, but I am getting stuck.
If awk is not the best utility to achieve this is there any way to code this???
My test code:
#!/bin/ksh
awk 'BEGIN {FS = "|"}
{
for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)
{
if (length($i) > max)
max = length($i)
maxlen($i) = max
}
}
END
{
for (i in max) print (i,max)
}
' $(find . -name "testfile.txt")
Below is a sample of the text file that I have:
Pipe Delimited Text file

2001|Unix book|12354|01587|5487651484

Hi all,
I have a flat file of 1000 rows. I want to check the length of the 5th column. The one having the longest length , I want to set it as DEFINED PARAMETER.
So later I can check others with that particular number only.
Any ideas ?? (2 Replies)

hai guys,
pick the 1st field and calculate max length.
if suppose max length is 2,
then compare the all records if <2 then add zero's prefix of the record.
for ex:
s.no,sname
1,djud
37,jtuhe
in this max length of the 1st field is 2 right
the output wil be
s.no,sname
01,djud... (6 Replies)

deb-origin
deb-origin(5) Debian deb-origin(5)NAME
deb-origin - Vendor-specific information files
SYNOPSIS
/etc/dpkg/origins/filename
DESCRIPTION
The files in /etc/dpkg/origins can provide information about various vendors who are providing Debian packages. They contain a number of
fields, or comments when the line starts with '#'. Each field begins with a tag, such as Vendor or Parent, followed by a colon and the
body of the field. Fields are delimited only by field tags. In other words, field text may be multiple lines in length, but the tools will
join lines when processing the body of the field.
REQUIRED FIELDS
Vendor: vendor-name
The value of this field determines the vendor name.
OPTIONAL FIELDS
Vendor-URL: vendor-url
The value of this field determines the vendor URL.
Bugs: bug-url
The value of this field determines the type and address of the bug tracking system used by this vendor. It can be a mailto URL or a
debbugs URL (e.g., debbugs://bugs.debian.org/).
Parent: vendor-name
The value of this field determines the vendor name of the vendor that this vendor derives from.
EXAMPLE
Vendor: Debian
Vendor-URL: http://www.debian.org/
Bugs: debbugs://bugs.debian.org
