Search Results

I want an output for what ever I search for and when the search has no match, I want an output of some text of my choosing, like comma's or "No Match".

Just an FYI, I have to use nawk for this to work without an error message. But, it still prints out ,,, for every line in the file??

If I am searching for AA then then BB in a loop, how do I make the output always contain 6 columns of comma separated data even when there may only be 4 search matches?

Thanks for all your help! My trouble is that I have never used perl before. Is there a way to do this using awk?

I have the following file that looks simular to this:

68 1 2 10
68 3
68 4
107 1
107 10
5 1 10

How can I make the file look like this:

5 1 10
68 1 2 3 4 10
107 1 10

I got the comm to work. I used the man comm to find out -12. Thanks a bunch!

What & why is the -12 used?
