Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Need advise/tip if there is more efficient way of doing this cut/paste/awk after changing a field Post 303044593 by RudiC on Thursday 27th of February 2020 05:14:53 AM

Yes, $2 (USER=MICKEY) is split at the equals sign into array T , and then rebuilt with the lower case username in T[2].


The !a[$0]++ is a trick (independent of $2): a[$0] evaluates to FALSE if it equals zero or doesn't exist or is created on first reference, so its negation is TRUE and triggers the default action: print. Then it is "post incremented" and will never (OK, not until reaching / crossing MAX_INT) trigger again. So any further occurrences of $0 are suppressed.
