Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

I am trying to develop a script which should find a word if a particular word exists.

Below is the content of the file.

Code:

insert_job: test_job ----> job name
days_of_week: all
start_times: "16:00"
date_conditions: 1
 
insert_job: test_job2 ----> job name
days_of_week: all
start_times: "16:00"

Now my objective is to find the job name which doesn't have date_conditions even though they have both start_times and days_of_week.

In the above sample it should display test_job2 as output as it doesn't contain days_of_week and start_times.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Regards,
rpatty

Code:

 
#!/bin/ksh
awk '{ if($1=="insert") printf("\n%s",$0); else printf(" %s",$0); }' input_file > temp
grep -v "date_conditions" temp | awk '{ print $2 }'

Try:

Code:

awk '!/date_conditions/{print $2}' RS= infile

thanks for your reply on my query.
The code which you have sent is not working. As I mentioned in my query. The script needs to check whether job name(its under insert_job) contains days_of_week and start_times parameter then only it should go for checking date_conditions parameter.
If there are no days_of_week and start_times parameter for a particular job name it should skip that job.
If job name contains both days_of_week and start_times parameter and if it doesn't contain date_conditions parameter it should print job name else not.

At the end of the script it should print only job name thats under insert_job parameter.

Thanks once again for replying to my query.

Code:

awk '/days_of_week/ && /start_times/ && !/date_conditions/{print $2}' RS= infile

Will this work for you:
