Shell Programming and Scripting

hi friends!

i have a script where a execute a veritas command, available_media wich retrieves me a list of tapes .lst

then i execute

cat /tmp/listtapes.lst | grep -v VL |sed '/^$/d'|awk -F, '{print $1, $3, $4, $9}
' > /tmp/media1.lst

but it prints all the columns instead of the four i´m orderin with awk...

anyone can help me??

maybe the cause is that veritas command generates spool headers like this and is not compatible.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Code:

awk 'NF && !/VL/{print $1, $3, $4, $9}' /tmp/listtapes.lst

If the output of listtapes is something like what you've copied there, why would you put that -F, ?

THANKS A LOT!!

thanks very much!! )))))))))))))))))

perfect!!!!
