My `command` doesnt always expect an input.
Only if it fails it expects an "Enter".

Not sure how EOF helps and what does EOF contain.
tried your command and got the error, cannot find or open...

Hi,

The prob is if an error...

Hi Radoulov,
Just need to add 1 more condition in the script to check if the 2nd tab separated value = U then i ignore the complete line and move to the next line in temp.txt.
How can this be done?...

My mistake radalouv. I apolgise. I had changed the config files in IBM and HP and hence was getting diff outputs. Your code is PERFECT.
I have tested the code in both IBM and HP and it works fine....

Hi Radalouv,
Your query works in all scenarios but only in AIX.
nawk doesnt work in HP-UX as well.

Any help in this regard will be great.
Thanks for all your help.

The input temp.txt

A AB ABC ABDC e

config.txt

{
'name' : 'Field1',
'type' : ...

Hi All,
The below code works perfectly on AIX machine but doesnt give the desired o/p on HP UX.
Can someone please generalise the code so that it becomes platform independent.



awk 'NR == FNR...

You are correct. Its working on AIX Version 5 (IBM machine)
but not on HP-UX.
Can i please have a machine independent code?

Needs some small modification i guess.
The input temp.txt
1 12 123 1234 1
A AB ABC ABDC e


config.txt

{
'name' : ...

Works like charm radoulov but a slight change in the requirement
The config file now looks like this:


{
'name' : 'field1',
'type' : 'input',
'spos' ...

the o/p is as follows
A AB ABC ABDC

From the 1st and 2nd word are at correct position but 3rd word onwards the logic goes for a toss.

Hi all,
I'm new to shell scripting and hence this query.
I have 2 files. temp.txt and config.txt.
The values in temp.txt are tab separated.

ex: temp.txt
AB CDE GHIJ OPQRS WXY
...

Suppose i have a file "xyz.txt" which contains

abcdef
ghijklm
nop



Now in want to add "qrst" to the last line such that the file becomes

abcdef
ghijklm
nopqrst


P.S:The o/p i...
