UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,

I have a datafile which has the following data and it can have much more records. The data set is as follows:

ISA~00~ ~00~ ~ZZ~F159B ~ZZ~U1CAD ~051215~184
3~U~00200~000011432~0~P~<
GS~FA~TC11A~U1CAD~051215~1843~000011432~X~002002
ST~997~0001
AK1~SH~1168
AK2~856~11680001
AK5~A
AK9~A~1~1~1
SE~6~0001
GE~1~000011432
IEA~00001~000011432

The name of the file is 997.lst. What I have to do is the grep AK5 and AK9 segments line 7 & 8 and
(AK5~A AK9~A~1~1~1) if they have A then sent am email with success otherwise un-successful.

I would really apprecitate if somebody has any code snippet similar to this.

TIA,
Inder

Hi,

Does anybody have a code snippet like this?

Regards,

awk -F ~ '{
if ( ( $1 == "AK5" || $1 == "AK9" ) && ( $2 == "A" ) ) {
your_mail_program_or_script
}
}' filename

Hi,

Thanks for the reply!!

I did not understand like where I have to give the filename which has the contents, which I want to compare with:

awk -F ~ '{
if ( ( $1 == "AK5" || $1 == "AK9" ) && ( $2 == "A" ) ) {
your_mail_program_or_script
}
}' filename

I have the file mail_997.lst which has the contents AK5 and Ak9 which I want to compare using this script. So should I use the mail_997.lst instead of filename. Please confirm.

Hi,

I have a file named mail_997.lst which has the following contents:

ISA~00~ ~00~ ~ZZ~F159B ~ZZ~U1CAD ~051206~171
3~U~00200~000011405~0~P~<
GS~FA~TC12A~U1CAD~051206~1713~000011405~X~002002
ST~997~0001
AK1~SH~1115
AK2~856~11150001
AK5~A
AK9~A~1~1~1
SE~6~0001
GE~1~000011405
IEA~00001~000011405
ISA~00~ ~00~ ~ZZ~VISTN ~ZZ~U1CAD ~051206~210
3~U~00200~000011198~0~P~<

In the data, we have different segments like AK5 and AK9, I have to write a code snippet where it greps this file look for AK5 and Ak9 segments and if it has a "A" then send an email saying successful otherwise un-successful.

AK5~A
AK9~A~1~1~1

Maybe something like this:

Code:

nawk -F'~' '$1 ~ /AK[59]/ {
    status=($2=="A") ? "successful" : "unsuccessful"
    system ("mailx -s" $1 ":\\ " status "\ recipient@email_domain.com </dev/null")
}' yourdatafile

Please do not cross-post.
