AWK question in the KORN shell
Hi,

I have two files with the following content:

gmrd.txt
235649;03;2563;598
291802;00;2563;598
314634;00;235649;598
235649;03;2563;598
393692;00;2563;598
411805;00;2563;598
411805;00;2563;598
235649;03;2563;598
414037;00;2563;598
575200;00;2563;598
70710;00;2563;598
70710;00;2563;598
235649;03;2563;598
70710;00;2563;598
808932;00;2563;5980
903857;00;2563;5980
979217;00;2563;598
235649;03;2563;598
A0ABVB;00;2563;598
235649;03;2563;598


and val_id.txt
235649;05;2563;598
235649;05;2563;598
564564;05;2563;598
235649;05;2563;598
235649;05;2563;598
212564;05;2563;598


(thesse are small samples of the actual files)

What I need to do is to use awk to get the first column of val_id.txt and then search gmrd.txt for any records with instances of the value occuring in the first column of vali_id.txt - if it finds any then it needs to replace the second column of that record by 05

Any help appreciated

I get the following error message:

./split.sh[2]: 235649;05;2563;598: syntax error

with the following code:

for i in $(< val_id.txt );do
index[i]="$i"
export index

awk 'BEGIN { FS = ";"; OFS = ";" }
{
if ($1 == "${index[i]")
$2 = "05"
print $0 ;
}' gmrd.txt
done
