Agama, your solution worked, thanks!

tarun_agrawal, I did not have a chance to try your solution, but it looks similar to the one I tried. Thanks for your input as well!

Thanks again...

Unfortunately the file is quite lengthy. I tried to use perl, but it did not perform the match correctly:

perl -pi -e 's/^CONTAINER EGLV${line}/^CONTAINER CHNJ${line}/g' $1

This simply changed...

Hi,

I have a file containing numerous string values, for example:

Hi,

I need to figure out a way to to capture the contents of a field that is separated by a pipe sign.

Example Data:

-100F| some other description
-10C| some description
| some...

So to bring everything back to the beginning, this is what I am requesting in basic form:

Input file:

"YCEU3600913","29P0","CT",20,"FB","Platform",2700,28000,"O",...

Here is an example input file (fixed length):


CMAYCEU3596080 2700 28000 29P0
CMAYCEU3600425 2700 28000 29P0


Here is my code that I normally use to receive input from a fixed length...

Sorry for being so vague, but I thought I would be able to take the code and output the information in a specific format, but I wasn't able too.

Here are the field lengths indicated by the start...

Thanks for all the replies. For the first two replies (PERL and AWK solutions), I am having the toughest time trying to output each line.

I have a multi-line file and I would like the output to...

I am trying to store each value in this delimited file:

"YCEU3600913","29P0","CT",20,"FB","Platform",2700,28000,"O",
"YMLU4366413","42G1","CT",40,"ST","40x8 6,Passive vents at...

Thanks for the advice. Is there a way to just delete this post?

Hi,

I have somewhat of a complex task at hand. I am on a HP-UX box and I need to search for information embedded in files, further embedded into a file/folder structure.

I compiled a list of...

Once again, it worked perfectly!

Thanks again!

Sorry to bother again, but is there a way to pass the awk script the search string?

Instead of '789', can I pass, '456' or another value to the script?

The 'awk' command worked and returned the intended results!

Thanks again for the fast response!

Chris

Thank you for the fast response. However 'nawk' is not available on my UNIX system. (HP-UX)

Can I use a different command?

Hi,

I have a file with the following contents:

COMPANY ABCD
TRUCKER JOE SMITH
TRUCK 456
PLATE A12345678
TRUCKER BILL JONES
TRUCK 789
PLATE B7894561

I need to create a script or...

Yes, I tried with the variables, but no luck. I did not use the variable names that I put in the example, I just used that naming convention for description.

One more question in response to the 'sed' command, is there any way to reference a variable name as the search string and as the file name?

Example:

STRING=bbbbbb
FILE=file165

sed...

Thanks for the quick response! The 'sed' command worked perfectly.

I have a file that looks like this:

Name=TOM
abcded
asdfas

Name=Chris

afadns
afdadsfa
aaaaaa
bbbbbb
cccccc

Thanks! That worked great!

I have a file that has multiple lines separated by an asterisk as a delimiter:

FILE.txt

A*123*BCD*456*TOM
A*789*EFG*947*CHRIS
A*840*BCD*456*TOM

I would like to search multiple files for...

Thank you very much! It works perfectly!

Thanks for the reply. Sorry, I just copy and pasted just as I pulled it off another site.

Your recommendation returned:

123456
ghijkl

Is there any way to get rid of the 'ghijkl' line?
