Shell Programming and Scripting

Code:

nawk -vVAR="$v_projname" '{print > ("ABS\_"((/\|/)?"ADDR\_":"SLICE\_")VAR"\_NETWORKID.txt")}' spfile.txt

Thanks for the solution !!

Just minor correction (Typo - Missed space between -v and VAR)

nawk -v VAR="$v_projname" '{print > ("ABS\_"((/\|/)?"ADDR\_":"SLICE\_")VAR"\_NETWORKID.txt")}' spfile.txt

Some awk and/or nawk version support without space

Hi
extending to my previous query ....

nawk -v invar1="$aa" '{print > ("ABS\_"((/\|/)?"A\_":"B\_")invar1"\_NETWORKID.txt")}' spfile.txt

Similar to invar1 variable in nawk I also need one more variable like invar2 to be passed into nawk. This I want to use in the place of NETWORKID

i.e. somthing similar to
nawk -v invar1="$aa" invar2="$bb" '{print > ("ABS\_"((/\|/)?"A\_":"B\_")invar1"\_"invar2".txt")}' spfile.txt

Above syntax is obviously wrong, I just like to know is there a way I can pass two different variables in nawk as above or other alternate way

- - - -

Also can I use Substring in nawk, because I need to find the '|' character in certain position in every line

i.e. I need to pick only those lines whose fifth character is '|' and then put that line in first file or else in second file
Eg:-
if
aa=xxxx
bb=yyyyy
and spfile.txt is

aaa1|bbb1|ccc1
11|21|31|
12|22|32|
13|23|33|
14|24|34|
aaa2|bbb2|ccc2
31|51|71|
32|52|72|
33|53|73|
34|54|74|
aaa3|bbb3|ccc3
41|61|81|
42|62|82|
43|63|93|
44|64|94|
aaa4|bbb4|ccc4

THEN

First file output should be (File ABS_A_xxxx_yyyy.txt)
aaa1|bbb1|ccc1
aaa2|bbb2|ccc2
aaa3|bbb3|ccc3
aaa4|bbb4|ccc4

Second file output should be (File ABS_B_xxxx_yyyy.txt)

11|21|31|
12|22|32|
13|23|33|
14|24|34|
31|51|71|
32|52|72|
33|53|73|
34|54|74|
41|61|81|
42|62|82|
43|63|93|
44|64|94|

Many many thanks in advance
