Thanks both the code is working fine..

but for the statements like below though function call is not there it is showing as false the below cases also shoulf be true.

select some text
(select some text(select some text)
where some condition)
where condition

this should be true. since there are no function calles

Code:
awk '{sub(/$/,RS)} /select/{s=/\(\)/?"true":"false";sub(/$/,"-->"s)}1' RS=\; infile

in this case the above code should print false where as it is printing true.

select some text
(select some text(select some text)
where some condition)
where condition;--true

GAELIC(5)						     Linux Programmers Manual							 GAELIC(5)

NAME

       gaelic - a list of Scots Gaelic words

DESCRIPTION

       /usr/share/dict/gaelic is an ASCII file which contains an alphabetic list of words, one per line.

FILES

       /etc/dictionaries-common/words  is  a  symbolic	link  to  a  /usr/share/dict/<language> file.  /usr/share/dict/words is a symbolic link to
       /etc/dictionaries-common/words, and is the name by which other software	should	refer  to  the	system	word  list.   See  select-default-
       wordlist(8) for more information.

       The directory /usr/share/dict can contain word lists for many languages, with name of the language in English, e.g., /usr/share/dict/french
       and /usr/share/dict/danish contain respectively lists of French and Danish words if they exist.	Such lists should be coded using  the  ISO
       8859-1 character set encoding.

SEE ALSO

       ispell(1), select-default-wordlist(8), and the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.

HISTORY

       The words lists are not specific, and may be generated from any number of sources.

       The  system word list used to be /usr/dict/words.  For compatibility, software should check that location if /usr/share/dict/words does not
       exist.
