Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Creating a condensed table from a pre-existing table in putty Post 302641111 by Deedee393 on Tuesday 15th of May 2012 03:58:01 PM

Hello,
I figured out what to do in order to make my program do what I want it to do:

vi (gets you to the VIM program)

e: filename.txt (opens up the text file you want to manipulate)

:%g!/searchwords/d (looks for the words you are searching for in your document, and deletes any row that doesn't contain this information)

:w newfilename.txt (saves the information left over (the info you are looking for) as a new text file)


So, let's say this is my newfilename.txt document:

Code:
1234    someinfo1    moreinfo1, 1235
1236    someinfo2    moreinfo2, 1238
1239    someinfo3    moreinfo3, 5793

and I have some other text file called othertextfile.txt that looks like this:

Code:
1235    someinfo4    moreinfo4
1238    someinfo5    moreinfo5
5793    someinfo6    moreinfo6

and I want my program to go through newfilename.txt and look at all the numbers found in the third column of the first file (1235, 1238, 5793) and output the corresponding 3rd column in the second file, for each one

i.e.
the third column of the first file has the numbers 1235, so it would find 1235 in the second file and output 1235 moreinfo4.


I'd like to continue using vi if possible


Thank you

ALTER 
TRIGGER(7) SQL Commands ALTER TRIGGER(7) NAME
ALTER TRIGGER - change the definition of a trigger SYNOPSIS
ALTER TRIGGER name ON table RENAME TO newname DESCRIPTION
ALTER TRIGGER changes properties of an existing trigger. The RENAME clause changes the name of the given trigger without otherwise changing the trigger definition. You must own the table on which the trigger acts to be allowed to change its properties. PARAMETERS
name The name of an existing trigger to alter. table The name of the table on which this trigger acts. newname The new name for the trigger. NOTES
The ability to temporarily enable or disable a trigger is provided by ALTER TABLE [alter_table(7)], not by ALTER TRIGGER, because ALTER TRIGGER has no convenient way to express the option of enabling or disabling all of a table's triggers at once. EXAMPLES
To rename an existing trigger: ALTER TRIGGER emp_stamp ON emp RENAME TO emp_track_chgs; COMPATIBILITY
ALTER TRIGGER is a PostgreSQL extension of the SQL standard. SEE ALSO
