Thanks - as previously stated I'm familiar w/ elif but I'm still receiving syntax errors. I believe I have followed as you have stated by placing the condition in single parenthesis and the code in single braces. Why am I receiving these errors?
Hello,
Can you explain why in the first 2 commands the awk does not print anything? Is it looking of a specific format ?
Thanks.
$ echo 12a3 | awk '($1>=2) {print $1}' # prints nothing
$ echo 123a | awk '($1>=2) {print $1}' # prints nothing
$ echo a123 | awk '($1>=2) {print $1}'

I do not know how to do this unless I use a bunch of if statements. I need a script to replace numbers in each record in a file. I am really getting tangled in this web.
If a fieldA (19 positions) is greater than 14 digits, I have to change the data (resulting fieldA is fixed 19 postions).

Hi Everyone,
# cat 1
1;2;3;4;5;6
1;2;3;4;5;
# awk -F ";" '$5 == "5"' 1
1;2;3;4;5;6
1;2;3;4;5;
but the output is should be just "1;2;3;4;5;6" means 1st condition: $5 is 5; 2nd condition: $6 is not empty, please advice. Thanks (2 Replies)
Hi there,
I wanna define a variable 'tempbase'. Therefore I read a text file "base.out". "base.out" contains a list with four columns. 'tempbase' is the 4th entry in the line, where the first entry is equal to the predefined variable $orb1 and the second entry is equal to $orb2. I wrote the code... (2 Replies)

hello gurus,
I want to use an associative array from a file to populate a field of another file, by matching several columns in order of priority. If the first column matches, then i dont want to match $2. Similarly I only want to match $3 when $1 and $2 are not in associative array.

grep
GREP(1) General Commands Manual GREP(1)NAME
grep - search a file for a pattern
SYNOPSIS
grep [ option ... ] pattern [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Grep searches the input files (standard input default) for lines (with newlines excluded) that match the pattern, a regular expression as
defined in regexp(6). Normally, each line matching the pattern is `selected', and each selected line is copied to the standard output.
The options are
-c Print only a count of matching lines.
-h Do not print file name tags (headers) with output lines.
-i Ignore alphabetic case distinctions. The implementation folds into lower case all letters in the pattern and input before interpre-
tation. Matched lines are printed in their original form.
-l (ell) Print the names of files with selected lines; don't print the lines.
-L Print the names of files with no selected lines; the converse of -l.
-n Mark each printed line with its line number counted in its file.
-s Produce no output, but return status.
-v Reverse: print lines that do not match the pattern.
Output lines are tagged by file name when there is more than one input file. (To force this tagging, include /dev/null as a file name
argument.)
Care should be taken when using the shell metacharacters $*[^|()= and newline in pattern; it is safest to enclose the entire expression in
single quotes '...'.

Exit status is null if any lines are selected, or non-null when no lines are selected or an error occurs.
