Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Omitting sections of file that contain word Post 302709709 by Corona688 on Wednesday 3rd of October 2012 01:02:08 PM

So, if a block contains neither host_name or hostgroup_name, it should be printed? But if that information is present and blank, it should not?

Code:
awk -v RS="" -v ORS="\n\n" -F"\n" '{ P=0; R=0
        for(N=1; N<=NF; N++)
        {
                if($N ~ /host(group)?_name/) R++
                if($N ~ /host(group)?_name[ \t]+[^ \t]/) P++;
        }
        } P || (!R)' inputfile

NAME
igawk - gawk with include files SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ... igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ... DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1). AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like @include getopt.awk in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path. OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports. EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk @include getopt.awk BEGIN { while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1) ... } EOF igawk -f test.awk SEE ALSO
