Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to put the command to remove duplicate lines in my awk script? Post 303037809 by Don Cragun on Wednesday 14th of August 2019 04:08:56 AM

Your first script never referenced input file field #1 in any way. Your remaining scripts keep it in reformatted input lines but never reference it.

Your scripts show a variable named test being used to filter input, but gives no indication of how it is set, what it is used to match, nor why it is there.

Please show us the code that you have hidden from us. Am I correct in guessing that you are setting the shell variable test to a value that will be identical to one of the values that will be found in field #1 in each of your input files?

From the image you supplied in post #1 in this thread I thought the output you wanted would be something like:
Code:
DATE ===== 20180122    DATE ===== 20180124    DATE ===== 20180125
RAM : 99               RAM : 99               RAM : 0.25

which are the only two lines in your output that do not have identical values in all three columns. I would have thought that it would be more useful to also show the rest of the information lines in the output related to LPARS value miaibg04. But, since the data you say you want in post #9 has three input files with the same date (201908XX) and identical values for all of the other fields (XX), I am still just guessing at what output you want to produce. Smilie

It is after 1:00am here, so I am going to bed. When I get up I will see If I can manufacture some input file data that I can use to test something that might or might not be similar to three of your input files and then see if I can create an awk script that will produce output that I might find useful. Since you are making this so difficult for any of us who are trying to help you, this may take a while and will not be high on my priority list.

NAME
igawk - gawk with include files SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ... igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ... DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1). AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like @include getopt.awk in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path. OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports. EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk @include getopt.awk BEGIN { while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1) ... } EOF igawk -f test.awk SEE ALSO
