AWK : Add columns in the end of csv file
Hi everybody,
I need some help please
I have a csv file named masterFile1.csv
Code:
header1,header2,header3
value1,value2,value3
value4,value5,value6

I am trying to add new columns in the end of the csv to have a new csv file named masterFile2.csv like this :
Code:
header1,header2,header3,period,region
value1,value2,value3,20110328,/home/kamel1985/Desktop
value4,value5,value6,20110328,/home/kamel1985/Desktop

the period columns will give the date of today 20110328 28th March 2011 and the region columns will give the path of the csv file.

I have tried something like this to add the columns but it allows to add the colums before not int the end of the csv file

Code:
awk -vc1="period" -vc2="region" -vd1=$(date '+%Y%m%d') -vd2=$(pwd) 'NR==1{$0=c1","$0}NR==1{$0=c2","$0}NR!=1{$1=d1","$1}NR!=1{$1=d2","$1}NF' masterFile1.csv> masterFile2.csv

and it gives somthing like this
Code:
region,period,header1,header2,header3
/home/kamel1985/Desktop,20110328,value1,value2,value3
/home/kamel1985/Desktop,20110328,value4,value5,value6

How can I modify the previous command to add the columns in the end of the csv file to have
Code:
header1,header2,header3,period,region
 value1,value2,value3,20110328,/home/kamel1985/Desktop
 value4,value5,value6,20110328,/home/kamel1985/Desktop

Thank you very much in advance !

Try something like..
Code:
awk -F, -vd1=$(date '+%Y%m%d') -vd2=$(echo $PWD) 'BEGIN{print "header1,header2,header3,period,region"}NR>1{print $0 FS d1 FS d2}' File1.csv> File2.csv

awk
{ p=`date`; d=`pwd`; awk -v p="$p" -v d="$d" '{
if(NR==1)
print $0",period,path"
else
print $0","p","d
}' youfile; }
