One last thing. In the input file there is the possibility...

Here is a cleaned up version of the input file showing how each field can have an undefined amount of data;


"NEW PRODUCT, VERSION 1.1"
PRODUCT_01
"PRODUCT FIELD"
FIELD_X
11.11
11.22
11.33...

Thanks for your response! I ran your code on the file and got the following output;
"NEW PRODUCT, VERSION 1.1"
PRODUCT_01
FIELD_X FIELD_Y
11.11 22.22

"NEW PRODUCT, VERSION 1.1"
PRODUCT_02...

Hi,

I have a text file 'Item_List.txt' containing only 1 column. This column lists different products, each separated by the same generic string header "NEW PRODUCT, VERSION 1.1". After this the...

Wasn't complaining, just new to this and trying different things.
Appreciate your help

Thanks for the quick reply.

When I run this on a txt file with no duplicates it works great. But when I run it on a file with duplicates I get the following output;


awk 'BEGIN { FS =...

Hi,

I have the following txt file List_With_Duplicates.txt;

a,1,1
b,3,4
c,5,2
d,6,1
e,3,3
f,3,7

When I run the command
awk -F ',' '{if($2==$3){print $1","$2","$3}}'...

Thanks, I tried it exactly like you wrote it;

Code;
printf "%s %s %*s %s\n" 'random' 'random' $m ' ' 'random'

but when I run the .sh script it just keeps running without displaying anything.

Again, i've confussed things, sorry. The padding of the 2nd column is based on a defined scalar variable, like so;

Code;
m=6
printf "%s %-${m}g %s\n" 'text' 'martin' 'text'
printf "%s %-${m}g...

I typed the code as you wrote it, however when run it doesn't output anything. I would also prefer not to state an actual number in the code, rather just use the scalar variable.

Thanks

Sorry, I made a mistake in my code. The print line was meant to read like so;

printf "%0s %-$m %0s\n" 'random text' 'random text' 'random text'

This would produce the following output;
...

I would like to make an addition to the above. I have the following;

#!/bin/sh

theUse[0]=john
theUse[1]=james
theUse[2]=ian
theUse[3]=martin
m=-1
for x in ${theUse[@]}
do
if...

Ah, see what you mean. It would only store the last item selected rather than all of them. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, that worked! I'll need to brush up on my syntax!!

Hello All,

A quick description of what I would like to do;

1) Find all the current registered usernames and loop through them.
2) Display each username 1 by 1 and Ask the user if they would...

just tested it again, it works! Think I may have been putting in a rogue character.
Thanks

Tried the code but it now just outputs all the subdirectories in the main directory, regardless of the search criteria.

thanks for the quick response. I tried your method but got '-printf is not a valid option'. I tried it using just 'print' and got 'There is a missing conjunction'

Here is a simplified example of my problem. Say I have the following 3 sub-directories;

./folder1
A.txt
A.sh

./folder2
B.txt

./folder3
C.txt
C.sh

I would like to list the...

thanks for the reply. That works!
Appreciated.
