My example was not clear enough. I have 12000 rows in my user accounts, and I wish to replace any capitals in the 3rd field of any row with lowercase.

The 3rd field of the output file will be used...

I spoke too soon Franklin. Your solution did work like a champ for record #2. I am trying to create a loop using your logic to assure that all records have lowercase in field 3.

/usr/bin/nawk -F: 'NR==2{$3=tolower($3)}1' OFS=":" file > file2


works like a champ.

I was using sed -f scriptfile filetomod > outputfile to run multiple edits in a single pass and was just...

Can SED be used to substitute a character (y) with a character (Y) in a specified field?

File has 12000 : delimeted rows as;

HHC 1 BDE:Lastname, Firstname MI:firstname.mi.lastname@mil:SGT

Thank you era. That keen eye from herding cats has found the option for me.

The ip strings can be variable length within the octets as 111.111.111.111 or 111.11.1.11 and the -x option allowed me...

Jim,

I tried that one before posting, but could never get it to give me the expected output. Maybe I did replace the variables in your code correctly. Also all three positions may not be fillled...

Thanks Franklin.... just what I needed. I had to use another version of grep to allow the -f to work.

/usr/xpg4/bin/grep -v -f $file2 $file1 > $file3

danmero,

I did search and came up with...

I have made several attempts to read two files of ip addresses and eliminate records from file1 that are in file2.

My latest attempt follows. Everything works except my file3 is exactly the same...

Big cheezy grins from this side of the console. The -r was all that was needed to exclude special treatment of the \'s.
Now I can incorporate it into our log search tool and publish it for...

Getting close now.... era


grep `echo "$SearchCriteria" | sed -e 's/[][\\.*$^]/\\&/g'` $SearchFiles
found no results, not even the control record, which is what happened when I was trying sed.

Thanks era.

Yes, that is where I am stuck. I guess my real question should have been "How do you make a literal from an ip or url string?" I have tried the following, but both of the sed's give...

I have two sripts running in bash. The first one uncompresses log files and moves them to a working directory using uncompress -c and > output to new directory. It then creates one control record to...

Thanks. The solution was to use the back tics instead of the $( as suggested. The extra space in the example was an illusion produced by the font I guess, because it was not in the actual code.

I have the following script (trapsize) that checks a file size on my syslog server, and if the file is gt 6g, it will mail an alert to the admin for inspection. The following works like a champ when...

era,

You are right... useless now.

At the time I posted, I did not know how to get the data stream into the script. Since I had previously used a grep of the message log to create a temp file,...

Many thanx.

Using cat filename | sed 's/^\[//;s/\][^"]*"/ /;s/"$//' > filename2 gives me the exact output I was needing.

I will now try to see if I can place my "cut" and your "sed" into a...

My bad... that is break using tip connection.
