Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Assigning nawk output to variables Post 81083 by steveje0711 on Tuesday 16th of August 2005 09:56:31 AM

vgersh99,

Hmm, can't quite grasp the technique. I tried the following:

cat hosts | eval $(nawk '{printf("IP=%s NAME=%s\n", $1, $2)}') | echo $IP $NAME
AZPHNX-E-3600-02 ( got back 1/2 line of a 3500 line file)

cat hosts | eval $(nawk '{printf("IP=%s NAME=%s\n", $1, $2)}') | echo [${IP}] [${NAME}]
[] [AZPHNX-E-3600-02] (same results)


>for i in `cat hosts`
> do
> eval $(nawk '{printf("IP=%s NAME=%s\n", $1, $2)}')
> echo $IP $NAME
> done
^C (no output!)

NAME
ucblinks - adds /dev entries to give SunOS 4.x compatible names to SunOS 5.x devices SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/ucblinks [-e rulebase] [-r rootdir] DESCRIPTION
ucblinks creates symbolic links under the /dev directory for devices whose SunOS 5.x names differ from their SunOS 4.x names. Where possi- ble, these symbolic links point to the device's SunOS 5.x name rather than to the actual /devices entry. ucblinks does not remove unneeded compatibility links; these must be removed by hand. ucblinks should be called each time the system is reconfiguration-booted, after any new SunOS 5.x links that are needed have been created, since the reconfiguration may have resulted in more compatibility names being needed. In releases prior to SunOS 5.4, ucblinks used a nawk rule-base to construct the SunOS 4.x compatible names. ucblinks no longer uses nawk for the default operation, although nawk rule-bases can still be specifed with the -e option. The nawk rule-base equivalent to the SunOS 5.4 default operation can be found in /usr/ucblib/ucblinks.awk. OPTIONS
-e rulebase Specify rulebase as the file containing nawk(1) pattern-action statements. -r rootdir Specify rootdir as the directory under which dev and devices will be found, rather than the standard root directory /. FILES
