Full Discussion: find string and get the rest of the line in a pipe delimited file

awk separates the data file by itself, which is why it used it -- by telling it the separator is | with -F'|', it separates them natively...

It reads that file into an array, then uses that array to look it up later.

So when you run that awk program, it does something like this:

Code:
# Code in BEGIN block gets run before all lines are read
# Read from the map file, set array based on contents
A["aaa"]=12
A["bbb"]=23
A["ccc"]=43

# For every line in the array, print the array's contents
print A["bbb"]
print A["ccc"]
print A["aaaa"]

If that's not what your data actually looks like, post a better example.

xcmsconvertcolors

XcmsConvertColors()													       XcmsConvertColors()

Name
  XcmsConvertColors - convert color specifications in XcmsColor structures to another color space specific encoding.

Synopsis
  Status XcmsConvertColors(ccc, colors_in_out, ncolors, target_format,
  compression_flags_return)
	XcmsCCC ccc;
	XcmsColor colors_in_out[];
	unsigned int ncolors;
	XcmsColorFormat target_format;
	Bool compression_flags_return[];

Arguments
  ccc	     Specifies	the  color conversion context.	If conversion is between device-independent color spaces only (for example, TekHVC to
	     CIELuv), the CCC is necessary only to specify the Client White Point.

  colors_in_out
	     Specifies an array of color specifications.  Pixel members are ignored and remain unchanged upon return.

  ncolors    Specifies the number of XcmsColor structures in the color specification array.

  target_format
	     Specifies the target color specification format.

  compression_flags_return
	     Specifies an array of ncolors Boolean values for returning compression status of each color conversion.  If a  non-NULL  pointer
	     is  supplied,  each  element  in  the  array is set to True if the corresponding color in the color specification array was com-
	     pressed, and False otherwise.  Pass NULL if the compression status is not useful.

Returns
  Zero on failure, non-zero on success.

Availability
  Release 5 and later.

Description
  The XcmsConvertColors() function converts the color specifications in the specified array of XcmsColor structures from their current format
  (which  may  vary  from element to element of the array) to a single target format using the specified CCC.  If all the conversions succeed
  without gamut compression, XcmsConvertColors() returns XcmsSuccess.  If one or more of the  conversions  required  gamut  compression,  the
  function  returns  XcmsSuccessWithCompression, and sets the appropriate flags in compression_flags_return array.  If any of the conversions
  fail, the function returns XcmsFailure and the contents of the color specification array are left unchanged.

Structures
  The XcmsColor and XcmsColorFormat structures are shown on the XcmsColor reference page.
