How to strip some characters before putting in array?
Hi Gurus,

my current code like below:
Code:
 nawk '{f1 = (NF>1)?$1:""}{print f1, $NF}'|sed -e 's/s(/,/g;s/)//g;s/ *,/,/'|nawk -F"," '{a[$1]b[$2]}END{for (i in b) if (!(i in a))print i}'

I have file like below. (this is autosys job dependencies)
the job with s() is dependencies, the job without s() is job need to be run. my task is to find all dependency jobs which not in the box. some of the above code I got from the folks in this fourm.

I am wondering if it is possible to remove
Code:
sed -e 's/s(/,/g;s/)//g;s/ *,/,/'

and in second awk, I can strip s() and put only job name in the array.

Code:
deptnm-appnm-code     -------     s(deptnm-ocode-30-ddd)
                                  s(deptnm-ocode-00-dum)
                                  s(deptnm-appnm-ecode)
deptnm-appnm-code-dld -------     s(deptnm-on-rundt-run)
                                  s(deptnm-appnm-ocodel-su)
                                  s(deptnm-appnm-ecode-dld)
                                  s(deptnm-ocode-50-curcnt)
deptnm-appnm-code-dum -------     s(deptnm-on-rundt-bp)

thanks in advance.
