Execute awk output with continuous streaming input
I need to parse some continuous output from a program (i.e. aScript.py) into a portal that uses curl. I've written a simple awk one-liner to parse the information that is output from aScript.py, but I'm not able to execute it. I can succeed with just one line of the output from aScript.py: echo curl "awk output" | xargs curl , but this doesn't work for continuous output from the aScript.py program. Here is what I want to be able to do:
Code:
aScript.py --user aUser:userPswd server.org PORT CODE | awk -F, 'NR>6 {print "curl \42http://aServerSomewhere.com/measurements/url_create?instrument_id=1&VAR1="substr($5,1,2)substr($5,5)"&VAR2="substr($7,1,3)"&VAR3="substr($12,4)"\42"}' | execute awk output (what to do here?)
In this example aScript.py is extracting data that is continuously collected. My awk line is parsing the output into a line necessary for porting the data into a program. How can I get the output of my awk line to execute continuously as the data comes in? Perhaps a loop is necessary?
Please use CODE tags (not ICODE tags) for full-line and multi-line code segments, sample input, and sample output. And, not that opening tags need matching close tags.

Hi,
i am new to awk. I am using csv2pipe script(shown below)
BEGIN { FS=SUBSEP; OFS="|" }

print
}
# setcsv(str, sep) - parse CSV (MS specification) input
# str, the string to be parsed. (Most likely $0.)
# sep, the separator between the values.

Hello,
I've written an awk one-liner to parse a stream of real-time data. I invoke a program that gives me output from which I extract a few columns, perform some simple calculations, and then stream that data into a portal using an http string. It's tricky because I have to run it every second... (2 Replies)
