Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting awk :quick question removing empty line. Post 302806005 by hanson44 on Sunday 12th of May 2013 04:43:20 AM

Code:
awk 'NF && !/#/ {action}' file

That would not work. It has two problems.

First, it would need to be !/^#/ to mean "do not act on lines that start with #".

Second, the idea was to act on lines that have a space character. But NF is 0 if just a space character, just as NF is 0 if the line is totally blank. So it would not act on the lines with spaces.

-----------------------

Look at the test input below, where the expected output is to NOT print first two lines (empty, start with #), and do print last three lines, and compare the results from the three ways:
Code:
$ cat -e input
# X$
$
X #$
 $
string 1-99-string 2$

Code:
$ awk 'NF && !/#/ {print}' input
string 1-99-string 2

Code:
$ awk '/^[^#]/ {print}' input | cat -e
X #$
 $
string 1-99-string 2$

Code:
$ grep -v -e '^#' -e '^$' input | cat -e
X #$
 $
string 1-99-string 2$
