How can I pass in an argument such as "*.k" to a bash script
without having to double-quote *.k and not having *.k
`glob` to match all files in the pattern?

I tried using noglob in my script...

Nicely done. You are numero uno AWK!:b:

Hey guys need your help with an gawk script... here's what I have so far

gawk '^d/ {printf "%-20s %-10s %-10s %-10s %-4s%2s %5s\n",$9,$1,$3,$4,$6,$7,$8}' ls.kbr

The file ls.kbr is a capture of ...

I am not sure the reason for the syntax error even though
shopt -s extglob had been used. In the end I used this command
as an alternative to 'cp' and it seems to do the trick.

Thanks Reborg...

I did activate this. Do I need to activate it within the script as well?

i have 255 files in a directory named 000po.k thru 255po.k
and I want to copy all files except 3: exclude 000po.k, 166po.k,168po.k

I know the long way around it copying these files, but am...

Thank you vgersh99. That was exactly the problem.
The script now works as intended.

Here is my awk code in a shell script:

localRecDir=/somedirectory/
#
awk -v LRD="$localRecDir" '{out = sprintf ("%s0000000%s"),LRD,substr($3,4) ; print > out; close(out)}' *.log

Here is the...

Your code worked perfectly!
Now I will put forth the time to try and understand what is happening.

Thanks again.

I get this error:

I would like to parse a file and use each record to create a unique file
where the name of the file created is taken from the 3rd field.

Example: here are 3 records.

000007 0110 ...

I tried it but still no go.

vgersh99, I don't know if this helps but Reborg's script outputs:

s.154pl.k:240: spool (6) "211I/C" to key

where as your script chops this into:

C" to key...

Reborg, this worked great! I appended a cut command to your script
I got exactly what I was looking for:

So far you are the closest to resolving my issue, but that redirection didn't
help. Output of your script shown below:

I tried your script with the fix. It is close to what I want, but it is not displaying the basename of the file. Output of your script shown below:

reborg, sorry but this wasn't what I had in mind.

Output from your script below:

vgersh99, can you elaborate on your post please.

I tried changing my script to:

grep -n "$1" $SCCSPATH/*/s.*.k | nawk -F/ '{print $NF}'

as I thought that is where you were leading me. It...

RishiPahuja: while your answer does provide a filename it is not quite what I am
looking for as it prints the names of file even when they do not match the
search pattern. Output of your script...

I tried your script RishiPahuja, but it had a problem with the basename
due to the -l option on ls as that supplied file attributes to the basename.

After removing the -l option your script did...

I have a script that sorta works the way I want but I would rather
just get the base name and line number from the grep output.

My current script is this one liner:

grep -n "$1"...
