Script that takes IP address as an Input and deletes 7 lines
I have a flat file that contains a list of IP address following 6 additional lines.
I would like to get a help in the following. a shell script that would take ip address or list of ip addresses as input, search one by one the ip address in the file and as soon as it find the exact match it deletes 7 lines including the line that has the ip address. it should then save the file
for example lets say we want to find 166.1.1.3 , the script should be able to find 166.1.1.3 and delete 7 lines including 166.1.1.3.
I tried to set up the script and I am getting teh following error !!!
more script_IPRemove.sh
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh -x
infile=./infile
/usr/bin/cp -p $infile $infile.old &&
/usr/bin/awk ' (NR == FNR) { A[$1] next } ($1 in A) { c = 8 } !(c && c--) ' $ipfile $infile.old > $infile
Error that I am getting
--------------------------
Code:
script_IPRemove.sh 1xx.3x.5x.1x
+ infile=./infile
+ /usr/bin/cp -p ./infile ./infile.old
+ /usr/bin/awk (NR == FNR) { A[$1] next } ($1 in A) { c = 8 } !(c && c--) ./infile.old
+ 1> ./infile
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: illegal statement near line 1

Reason: code tags
1. There must be a semicolon between statements within a block (if not on separate lines).
2. In Solaris you better use /usr/xpg4/bin/awk or nawk.
Best practice is to define PATH at the beginning of the script .
3. $ipfile is yet undefined. (You could pass script parameter instead.)
Code:
PATH=/usr/xpg4/bin/:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
export PATH
infile=./infile
cp -p $infile $infile.old &&
awk ' (NR == FNR) { A[$1]; next } ($1 in A) { c = 8 } !(c && c--) ' "$ipfile" $infile.old > $infile
First off, an observation: if you want to delete the line containing the IP address and the next 6 lines you will accumulate empty lines. In your input sample there are always 7 lines in a block separated by a single blank line. If you want to preserve this structure you'd have to delete 8 lines, not seven.
Second, the probably easiest way to do this is "sed":
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
typeset search=""
typeset fIn="./7lines.in"
typeset fTmp="./7lines.tmp"
while [ -n "$1" ] ; do
search="$1"
shift
sed '/^'"$search"'[^0-9]*/,+6 d' "$fIn" > "$fTmp"
mv "$fTmp" "$fIn"
done
exit 0
You may notice that the script lacks seriously in checks: checks for enough disk space, free inodes to create files, write privileges, successful operation of sed, sanity checks for the command line arguments, ... These are left as an exercise for the avid reader.
If you want to go for eight instead of seven lines in light of what i wrote above, change the "+6" to "+7" in the sed-script above.

Hello!
My final exam in my Linux class is tomorrow, and I was just reviewing the grep and sed commands. I came across an example, by which I got stumped: it asks to provide a sed command that deletes all lines that contain exactly 3 to 5 digit strings, from a file.
In this case, I created a... (3 Replies)
