"\|" is an undefined sequence. It looks like an escape sequence, but there is no such defined escape sequence in string literals. Some awk string parsers (as the quoted error message makes clear)...

Note: the "T" command is GNU sed only...
Nicely done with range repetition..

----
With this adaptation it should also work in regular sed:
sed -e :a -e "s/^\(.\{120,125\}\) /\10/; ta" file

Note that in an ERE, | is a special character and does not match a pipe symbol. Even if that wasn't a problem, note that the 2nd grep in this script would not match 100, 026, or 040 even though all...

Sorry, but I must strenuously disagree with your analysis and your rewrite of the code. If you look at the originally posted script (and my analysis of it in the message #3 in this thread) you will...

Yep, solaris runs inside Virtualbox as virtual machine on Windows host.

Prebuilt machine is just a already installed Solaris for download as a vbox image (you just start it after download), with...

Combining both files into a single stream is a very clever approach, hanson44. Great idea. However, the implementation needs a bit more work. If the last line of the sorted stream belongs to file1,...

Most ps-grep pipelines are underspecified (including all instances in this thread). Consider the following:


The pattern is evidently intended to match only a command name, but then why is it...

FILENENAME=="file1" {
//Instructions executed for file1
next
}
{
//Instructions executed for file2
}

Ok awesome reply! Thanks so much for crisp and clear ans.. Your reply is really appreciated. :b::b::D

Hello, hanson44:

You can explicitly use the match operator:
awk '$0 ~ a, $0 ~ b' a='^START' b='^END' file

When you use /pat1/,/pat2/, that's just shorthand for what my code is doing above....

Hansen,

You are a genius! At the same time, I never thought it was this easy to do this! Thank you and everyone who chimed in!!

ps: If the word DONE was not previously in the file, the...

The simplest solution is probably to use the standard cut and paste tools:
cut -d= -f2 file | paste -d, - - -

Indeed, that sort command is incorrect. Nice catch (and an amusingly ironic one, since I directed you to it to help you fix your sort).

The problem is that attaching a modifier to a key ('r' to...

The ARG_MAX (or may be LINE_MAX) issue is with ls temp*.txt and not with xargs.

Try using awk instead:
ps -ef | awk '/mintty/&&!/awk/{print $2 } '
OR use pgrep
pgrep mintty

Since DISK is a constant four, you want to key your sort on the first field character 5 and following, numeric ordering. In the the ol day, this was '-n +0.4 -0.99' but now it is -k1.5,1.99n, as...

I don't have time at this very moment to consult an implementation's source or run some tests (I might in a few hours), but I would bet that you are wrong about this. The integral type with which...

--files-from is -T, see man page link above.
