Adding user name to file, and then displaying new line number
Hi all - I'm completely stumped by a script I'm working on...
The short version is I have a file called 'lookup' and in it are hundreds of names (first and last). I have a script that basically allows the user to enter a name, and what I need to have happen is something like this:
Record <name> added at line 5.
so lookup looks like this:
Code:
Homer Simpson
Jane Doe
John Doe
Barney Rubble
(etc...)
User then adds 'Fred Flinstone' (sorry for the use of creative names...)
And it would come back (using the file above)
Record Fred Flinstone added at line 3
So basically (there's a lot of stuff snipped out obviously) but the script basically looks like this:
and there's where I'm stuck. My next line is something like this:
Code:
echo -n "Record $name at line "
And that's it - I can search the lookup file using: nawk /$name/ lookup - but I can't figure out how to get the damned line number
Any help would be appreciated...
EDIT: Sorry, I forgot to add that I'm sorting the file by last names.... (that's the reason why - using the example above - 'fred flinstone' would go in at line 3 (obviously sorted file would have 'jane doe, john doe, fred flinstone, barney rubble, homer simpson' in that order...)
