I am trying to print the output of a command to two separate files. Is it possible to use awk to print $1 to one file and $2 to another file?
Thanks in advance! (1 Reply)
Hello!
I am writing a program to run through two large lists of data (~300,000 rows), find where rows in one file match another, and combine them based on matching fields. Due to the large file sizes, I'm guessing AWK will be the most efficient way to do this. Overall, the input and output I'm... (5 Replies)

I would like to compare these files using awk; specifically if column 1 of file1 is equal to column 1 of file2... (7 Replies)
grep -v will exclude matching lines, but I want something that will print all lines but exclude a matching field. The pattern that I want excluded is '/mnt/svn'
If there is a better solution than awk I am happy to hear about it, but I would like to see this done in awk as well. I know I can... (11 Replies)
Dear AWK-experts!
I did get stuck in the task of combining files after matching fields, so I'm still awkward with learning AWK.
There are 2 files: one containing 3 columns with ID, coding status, and score for long noncoding RNAs:
file1 (1.txt) (>5000 lines)

Trying to use awk to match the contents of each line in file1 with $5 in file2. Both files are tab-delimited and there may be a space or special character in the name being matched in file2, for example in file1 the name is BRCA1 but in file2 the name is BRCA 1 or in file1 name is BCR but in file2...

I apologize in advance, but I continue to have trouble searching for matches between two files and then printing portions of each to output in awk and would very much appreciate some help.

Hello all, I am having trouble with what should be an easy task, but seem to be missing something fundamental. I have two files, with File 1 consisting of a single field of many thousands of records. I also have File 2 with two fields and many thousands of records.
My goal is that when $1 of... (2 Replies)

cmp
CMP(1) BSD General Commands Manual CMP(1)NAME
cmp -- compare two files
SYNOPSIS
cmp [-l | -s] file1 file2 [skip1 [skip2]]
DESCRIPTION
The cmp utility compares two files of any type and writes the results to the standard output. By default, cmp is silent if the files are the
same; if they differ, the byte and line number at which the first difference occurred is reported.
Bytes and lines are numbered beginning with one.
The following options are available:
-l Print the byte number (decimal) and the differing byte values (octal) for each difference.
-s Print nothing for differing files; return exit status only.
The optional arguments skip1 and skip2 are the byte offsets from the beginning of file1 and file2, respectively, where the comparison will
begin. The offset is decimal by default, but may be expressed as an hexadecimal or octal value by preceding it with a leading ``0x'' or
``0''.
The cmp utility exits with one of the following values:
0 The files are identical.
1 The files are different; this includes the case where one file is identical to the first part of the other. In the latter case, if the
-s option has not been specified, cmp writes to standard output that EOF was reached in the shorter file (before any differences were
found).
>1 An error occurred.
SEE ALSO diff(1), diff3(1)STANDARDS
The cmp utility is expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') compatible.
