Using sprintf and system command in awk
Hello Friends,

I'm trying something hard (for me) to create a report script,normally the following script works:

Echos are just for cosmetic touch,
Code:
echo -n "\n-----\t----------\t-------------\t\t--------------\t\t--------\n
COUNT\tEVENT_TYPE\tRESPONSE_CODE\t\tINTERNAL_ERROR\t\tFLOWNAME
\n-----\t----------\t-------------\t\t--------------\t\t--------------------------------\n" 
&& gzcat *2016-03-29_*gz | gawk -F"|" '
BEGIN{format = "%-10s\t%-8s\t%-14s\t%-32s\n"}{if(( $5 == 2001 )&&( $8 != 0 )&&( $9 != 0 )&&( $12 ~ "fulfillService" )) 
printf format, "\t"$5"\t",$8"\t\t",$9"\t",$(NF-1)}' | sort | uniq -c 
&& echo -n "-----\t----------\t-------------\t\t--------------\t\t--------------------------------\n"

Output:

Code:
-----   ----------      -------------           --------------          --------
COUNT   EVENT_TYPE      RESPONSE_CODE           INTERNAL_ERROR          FLOWNAME
-----   ----------      -------------           --------------          --------------------------------
4506    2001            -3                      114                     refillVoucherless               
11472   2001            -3                      115                     refillVoucherless               
  12    2001            -4                      11111                   addAndActivateService           
   4    2001            -4                      13                      setHLRSub                       
-----   ----------      -------------           --------------          --------------------------------

I need to add up extra field to output as "OFFER NAME"
this output will come from 14th field of input files (pipe seperated) after stripping them by using SED and when I run the following command it works; it fetches what I want:

Code:
nawk -F\| '{if(( $5 == 2001 ) && ( $8 != 0 ) && ( $9 != 0 ) && ( $12 ~ "fulfillService" ) print $14}' infile 
| sed 's#.*\(externalofferid":"\)\(.*\)\(","receiversubscriber\).*#\2#'

gives something like:
Code:
ABC_OFFER

Desired Outout is :

Code:
-----   ----------	----------      -------------           --------------          --------
COUNT   OFFER_NAME 	EVENT_TYPE      RESPONSE_CODE           INTERNAL_ERROR          FLOWNAME
-----   ----------	----------      -------------           --------------          ---------------------
4506    AAA			2001            -3                      114                     refillVoucherless               
11472   BBB			2001            -3                      115                     refillVoucherless               
  12    CCC			2001            -4                      11111                   addAndActivateService           
   4    			2001            -4                      13                      setHLRSub                       
-----   ----------	----------      -------------           --------------          -----------------------

However when I want to add it to the whole command above it fails
I though I had to use a system command (but i'm not sure)
could you please suggest/correct the command?

I tried (did not show echoes part; its already confusing):
Code:
gzcat *2016-03-29_*gz | gawk -F"|" '
BEGIN{format = "%-20s\t%-10s\t%-8s\t%-14s\t%-32s\n"}{if(( $5 == 2001 )&&( $8 != 0 )&&( $9 != 0 )&&( $12 ~ "fulfillService" )) 
sprintf offer==system("sed 's@.*\(externalofferid":"\)\(.*\)\(","receiversubscriber\).*@\2@'"$14) ; 
printf format, "\t"offer"\t"$5"\t",$8"\t\t",$9"\t",$(NF-1)}' | sort | uniq -c

I believe I don't need sprintf as it prints the stripped string..

error:
Code:
gawk:      
 ^ syntax error

Thanks in advance.
