Yep that good!! Thanks!

sorry to bring this up again, but since this answer theres been a few changes in my input file,mainly the addition of a new set of numbers


abcf-p-ssa-a322f-s-4312
def-abcf-p-ssa-a322f-s-4312 ...

How do I get the getopts command to display whats written at my help option if no option is types in? For example,

myscript.sh -h


will bring up my help option, however, I also want
...

why not just use your text editor to do it for you? In the options do you not have a "status line" option or anything? or does it HAVE TO BE a command you want?

my mistake pravin, i forgot the '(' next to the first 'date'. But yea, do you think we could change this so it meets also does what I said to Ahmad in my last post?

theres 9 brackets '(' in this so its coming up with unmatched brackets error!

thank you ahmad!...

Same output as in my first post


date-01/01/01
time-2110
ref/0001
this should remain
this should remain

my apologies as I probably didn't explain this problem the best that I should have. The input file may have many other words on the line, both after and before before the keyword, so the $1$2 would...

#!/bin/bash
perl -nle'
/(?:date|time|ref)/ and print join " ", /(?:date|time|ref)[\w-]+/g
or print
' inputfile


Problem I have is that I want to delete words that are on...

Need some help with a regex if loop problem.

2323
3232
4230
3230
4340
4343
233
32320

I want to print "Zero" if the number ends with a zero, but print "number" if it does not!

my mistake, but with the input file some lines have 2 words on it (can be any word), whilst others may have jsut the one on it. I tried replacing the NF==1 with NF==2 but that didn't work properly,...

Need to delete the line which is directly above any line which has 3 fields in it.

world class mate! i almost had that! jsut had the \b on the wrong side of the 0! thanks!!

im putting it into a nawk, as im using solaris. I tried your first one though on this:
Regular Expression Calculator (http://www.codehouse.com/webmaster_tools/regex/)

and it doesn't work, should...

need a regex that matches when a number has a zero (0) at the end of it
so like
10
20
120
30
330
1000
and so on

thanks for the reply, unfortunately although it ran and everything, it has a problem with files if their version number is 1.10, as it see's this as the same as 1.1. So,
File1

treehouse.txt 1.2...

oh ok, so its more about the context its used in rather than having one concrete meaning?

:s okkaaayy. is this because its in a if statement? as im thinking if thsi was just outside the if statement then it would assign the value? am i right? Also as he's using ksh, would he use the same...

yes thought you may, instead of the single '=', try replacing it with '=='
e.g.

if [[ "$Name1" == "$Name2" ]]
then
# at this point we know they are equal
else
# at this point we...

jim why is it '=' and not '=='? Doesn't the '=' assign the value of name2 to name1, whereas the '==' will compare it?

mmm ok maybe I didn't explain it clearly in post18, so i'll try again. When I version the files, I HAVE to have a "1." at the start of it, so version 1 becomes version 1.1, version 2 becomes 1.2,...
