Thanks so much RavinderSingh13. An early quick test seems to reveal that that did the trick!

Hello all, I am having trouble with what should be an easy task, but seem to be missing something fundamental. I have two files, with File 1 consisting of a single field of many thousands of records....

OK, thank you so much. I was under the impression that the field separator value was set to the *string* "][" rather than "]" or "[", thus I thought that $1 in the code would have been PS028,006 [KJ...

That did it RubiC! Such a simple and elegant way to accomplish it! Thanks so much also to Scrutinizer and Don Cragun for your help!

If I may, could I please ask a question about the field...

I'm so sorry Scrutinizer, but as my input is many thousand lines long I did not notice a potential complicating issue that I was wondering if I could get your help addressing. There are time where...

Thanks so much Scrutinizer. It looked like it was printing out some manner of counter (possibly string length?) as the first field of every line. I adjusted your code slightly and also for simplicity...

I will start with an example of what I'm trying to do and then describe how I am approaching the issue.

I apologize for the misleading information Don. I have been trying to delete that last update that I had put up because I saw the error. I unfortunately do not see the ability to delete a reply and...

Scrutinizer! That did it (or at least seems to have done it)! Your solution was so much more simple than that which I was attempting. Thank you so very much!

Reply deleted.

Thank you so much Don. I'll take a look.

I read through that thread Don and while I must admit that I do not exactly follow all of it, it seems to be a...

I am hoping to pull multiple strings from one file and use them to search within a block of text within another file.

PS002,004 MWQ
PS004,002 RXM
PS004,006 DBX

Such an elegant solution Scrutinizer. I had no idea grep would recognize metacharacters as a part of stdin. Thank you so very much.

I am having trouble matching *two* strings from one file anywhere in a line of a second file, and could use some help getting this figured out. My preference would be to use grep for this because I...

Thanks so much for this RudiC. I tested it just quickly without an in-depth check, but it seems to have done the trick. I am sorry for the extra work my mistake created for you and I so very much...

Thanks so much for this RudiC. I don't want to wear out your patience, but it seems that when I took samples from file 2, I took too many "*" lines and effectively made two consecutive lines...

Actually RudiC, now that I read your paraphrase a bit more closely, it is slight off:


Everything was correct up until your "AND" statement. The value "503" can be in $22 in any line within the...

Hello all, I can get close to what I am looking for but cannot seem to hit it exactly and was wondering if I could get your help.

I have the following sample from textfile with many thousands of...

In this case @MadeInGermany, I would not want any output to be generated given your proposed input file.

Maybe it would be helpful if I gave some more sample data from my input.

Thank you so much vgersh99. Indeed, in the verbal parameters of my desired output I left out one condition (viz., $16=="2"). I have since fixed my original post. Thanks for pointing that out to me...

I have a text file with many thousands of lines, a small sample of which looks like this:

Works like a charm RudiC! Thank you so much! Now I have to go try to figure out how it works.

Hello, I have input that looks like this:

Thanks Don. Unfortunately I noticed those suggested threads after I had responded to Scrutinizer. I really appreciate your own explanation here too as I continue to approach awk from a discipline far...
