I apologize. In my last posting, the awk program I supplied was missing a closing brace. I should have pasted it in the form I used when I tested it instead of converting it back to a 1-liner. Try the following awk script (but use /usr/xpg4/bin/awk, /usr/xpg6/bin/awk, or nawk instead of awk if you're using a Solaris/SunOS system):
And, no. Changing the field separator from "|" to ":" will not make any real difference. This script will add new trial results to the line in file that has the given factors (or add a new line if the given factors are not already in file); not replace existing trial results. It will never replace existing trial information when adding a new trial. You just need to move or copy file.new to file after each trial is successfully added.

Hi,
I have the following file,
ABC.txt:
ABC=123
DEF=234
FGH=345
Based on my validation and conditional processing it is observed that i need to comment or append # before DEF=234
so the same file ABC.txt should look as follows
ABC=123
#DEF=234
FGH=345
Sorry if its a... (6 Replies)

service(8) System Manager's Manual service(8)NAME
service - run a System V init script
SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]
service --status-all
service --help | -h | --version
DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable an environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with the current
working directory set to /.
The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the
invoked script. service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and stop
commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start com-
mand.
service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.
EXIT CODES
service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it.
FILES
/etc/init.d
The directory containing System V init scripts.
ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM
The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.
SEE ALSO
/etc/init.d/skeleton,
update-rc.d(8),
init(8),
invoke-rc.d(8).
