Thanks! So I tried the last one and man the output format is kind of jacked up
Sometimes it appends other lines and sometimes it throws the the first AP in at the end or middle?
This is what it looks like if I go back to my original awk commands.
I will play with this and see what I can figure out...it seems like its combining or adding the User-Agent field. strange output. Thanks again for your help!

Is there anyway to force this to always print the "/AP/" field first?
Right now it does maybe 50% sometimes it ends up after the User-Agent. There must be something causing this but I cannot figure it out?
Thanks!!
What do you mean you cannot figure it out? It is obvious! With the code suggested for handling your problem, it is simple: when the string AP appears first in your input file, it will appear first in your output file.
Is there something in your input file that can be used to indicate that it is the first line of a set or the last line of a set?
Will it always be true that there is exactly one line containing the string AP, one line containing the string User-Agent, and one line containing the string Host in a group of lines to be treated as a set?
You know what your input looks like, you have left the rest of us guessing.

I find an script with awk sitting around. I went through some online manuals, but I can't figure out exactly how it works. I can't post the whole program. Not allowed.
This is the line that is confusing me. I get when else is in the script

Here's a basic awk program I am trying to run. It shows no error but shows no result either too. If someone can look up and tell me what's wrong I will be obliged.
Thanks. :)

Hi,
Sorry if this is a newbie question. I guess you can use either awk or shell script for this sequence of operations, but knowing very little about either of them I'm not sure how I should try to write this.
The basic objective is to copy certain files that are scattered all over my... (10 Replies)
Hi,
I was trying to change the value of the 4th column (put '1' in the 4th column of each row). My awk command is:

My input file is:
a 1 2 31
b 4 5 61
c 7 8 91
My output file (test_out.txt)is:
a 1 2 31
b 4 5 61
c 7 8 91

1. increase file space
first, double space a file:
awk '1;{print ""}'
I probably can understand it:print a blank line every time.But when I read triple space a file I am confused:
awk '1;{print "\n"}'
doesn't it meaning print a blank line every time too?
2. number each line of file, but... (6 Replies)
