Hi all,
I was doing some string manipulation in my script and wanted to try using awk. However, I have been stuck with string compare. A simplified form of my conundrum is given below:
The below prints expected result (prints "Completed because that is the second element"):
The below does not print the expected value:
Shouldn't the output above be "Yes" given $2 is "Completed"? What am I doing wrong?
Btw, what I really need to do is set a variable if the string compare is successful. The print-test was just to see if it's work at all, and looks like I need to rethink.
Any help is highly appreciated.
I am a newbie to this forum and apologize if I'm creating an unnecessary thread (as opposed to logging this in an existing thread). If there is one that answers my question, please do suggest.
Hi there,
what is wrong with this?
grep ">>" alarms_temp | awk '{print substr($5, 2), $7}' | read var1 var2
echo "$var1"
echo "$var2"
Both variable are empty, but if i run:
grep ">>" alarms_temp | awk '{print substr($5, 2), $7}'
I have:
0 9
as a result. (2 Replies)

Anyone ever seen this? Someone mentioned this the other day....
If you do, for instance, in korn shell, echo $(5.2+2.5), it gives the result of 6 regardless.
Can't remember why but it was the limitation of the korn shell. (5 Replies)

IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)NAME
igawk - gawk with include files
SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...
DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).
AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like
@include getopt.awk
in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.
OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk
BEGIN {
while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
...
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
