Okay, I've made threads on extracting fields and comparing strings in separate files in .csv's. I've written the following code with intentions of learning more.

I just want this one question...

Thanks, you're amazing!

And can you explain to me why you matched " -11 -21 " and still got it to work rather than the blood types? Confused.

Say I have

#names.csv
Jackie Chan,1954,O+
Chuck Norris,1930,A-
Bruce Lee,1940,O+


Where the 1st column is the name, 2nd is DOB, and 3rd is blood type.

And I had a second file
...

Thanks, this was a very concise and easy-to-understand explanation. I will try using this implementation after memorizing how it works.



Thanks to you as well. You've provided me with code...

Thanks.

Can both of you explain to me what these lines do? I know I can just try them out but I am new to unix and I don't know much.

ethnicity or the third column of the 2nd file. I know in this situation I could just have them in the same file, but that's not the point. I am trying to learn.

EDIT: My problems have been solved thanks to the help of bartus11 and pravin27

This code is just to help me learn. It serves no purpose other than that.

Here's a sample csv that I'm working...

EDIT: problem is solved.

I made Microsoft write this - LDAP queries are executed more slowly than expected in the AD or LDS/ADAM directory service and Event ID 1644 may be logged (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951581)
...

Thanks again, you've helped me immensely.

Okay, so for this example, the $1 will be the input file parameter, but the $2 and $3 inside of single quotes will be the 2nd and 3rd columns, respectively in the actual $1 file?



Okay, thanks....

So if I just wrote the following script it would work, right?


#!/usr/bin/sh
awk -F, '{(if $2 == 1940) print $3}' > gender.txt

EDIT: Would that even output to the file(gender.txt)?

Thanks, is there a way I could do it with writing:

awk -F, '{(if $2 == 1940) print $3}' > gender.txt

note: I'd be writing this into a file/script then running it as a parameter. Say the above...

EDIT: This problem has been solved thanks to the help of scottn.

Okay, so I have a CSV. Let's say it has the following entries in it:

Jackie Chan,1954,M
Chuck Norris,1930,M
Bruce Lee,1940,M
