Shell Programming and Scripting

I posted a problem last week that had essentially two steps. Someone was kind enough to help me with the first step, but beacuse I didn't explain things well, left out the second step. I'm required to work in C Shell. I deeply appreciate any help, since I've never worked in a shell language before.

I have a data file and a log file with the following formats:

Data.File
Log.File
I need to generate a list of failed points with their NAME and DATA information. Somone helped me with a method for extracting the "key" from the log file.

However, I still have no idea how to find the entry in the data file by the key, then extract the NAME and DATA from the lines that follow the key.

The output should look similar to the following (...'s are for spacing only):

I'm confused.

You say "I'm required to work in C Shell" but the script you post is Korn shell.

Also, that script uses sed and grep, so is it safe to assume that you really do NOT need to work in csh?

You could process this easily with Perl or Awk, more clumsily with sed and grep.

So what does csh really have to do with anything??

I'm so new to scripting that I'm not sure I understand your questions, but I'll answer them best I can. (I'm an Ada programmer trying to jump into a C++ shop.) All of the scripts here are old and written in .csh files. I was told by someone that they are C Shell scripts and that's what we are required to use. Some of these scripts do use sed and grep.

The script that I posted was a response that I received from a similar question. I was not aware it was a Korn shell script.

If you are saying that this is an easy task in Awk, well that might be, but I don't know Awk either. Also, this is a task that I or sopmeone else will need to perform about once a month, so having it in a .csh file should be useful.

Thanks for reading my question. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try:

Code:

echo "POINT   NAME     DATA"
for each in `awk -F"[ #]" '/[0-9]+/{ print $6 }' log`
do 
awk '/'$each'$/ { f=1} f&&(c++==3) { n=$NF } f&&(c==8) {d=$NF } f&&n&&d { print '$each'"\t"n"\t"d; n="";d="";f=0 }' dat
done
