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).

1;2;3;4;5;
# awk -F ";" '$5 == "5"' 1

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)

I'm having a problem pulling UID's from data. The data outputs a user's UID in one of three ways:
1. Error User user_name already assigned with <UID>
2. Success <UID> reserved for user_name
3. <a load of crap because there was a db failure yet somehow the UID is still in there>

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.

echo
echo(1B) SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands echo(1B)NAME
echo - echo arguments to standard output
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/echo [-n] [argument]
DESCRIPTION
echo writes its arguments, separated by BLANKs and terminated by a NEWLINE, to the standard output.
echo is useful for producing diagnostics in command files and for sending known data into a pipe, and for displaying the contents of envi-
ronment variables.
For example, you can use echo to determine how many subdirectories below the root directory (/) is your current directory, as follows:
o echo your current-working-directory's full pathname
o pipe the output through tr to translate the path's embedded slash-characters into space-characters
o pipe that output through wc -w for a count of the names in your path.
example% /usr/bin/echo "echo $PWD | tr '/' ' ' | wc -w"
See tr(1) and wc(1) for their functionality.
The shells csh(1), ksh(1), and sh(1), each have an echo built-in command, which, by default, will have precedence, and will be invoked if
the user calls echo without a full pathname. /usr/ucb/echo and csh's echo() have an -n option, but do not understand back-slashed escape
characters. sh's echo(), ksh's echo(), and /usr/bin/echo, on the other hand, understand the black-slashed escape characters, and ksh's
echo() also understands a as the audible bell character; however, these commands do not have an -n option.
OPTIONS -n Do not add the NEWLINE to the output.
