how to parse this file and obtain a .csv or .xls

Hello Expert,
I have a file in the following format:
Code:
SYNTAX_VERSION 5
 
MONITOR "NAME_TEMPLATES"
        DESCRIPTION "Monitors for contents of error "
        INTERVAL "1m"
        MONPROG "script.sh NAME_TEMPLATES"
        MAXTHRESHOLD
        GEN_BELOW_RESET
        SEVERITY Major
        APPLICATION "script.sh"
        MSGGRP "MSG"
        MSGCONDITIONS
                DESCRIPTION "Has NEW errors"
                CONDITION_ID "00000-34dc-25e0-1cfe-0a088b060000"
                CONDITION
                        OBJECT "<#>diff<*.folder>"
                        THRESHOLD 0.500000
                        RESET 0.500000
                SET
                        OBJECT "<$OPTION(area)>"
                        TEXT "There have been new failures Processing the <$OPTION(area)> 
file on Central.
                        AUTOACTION "ls <folder>" ANNOTATE
                        HELPTEXT "OPS
=========

                        HELP "0d152f3c-59dc-71e0-1cfe-0a034b060000"

                        OBJECT "<$OPTION(area)>"
                        TEXT "There has been a failure Processing the <$OPTION(area)> file 
                        HELPTEXT "OPS

 HELP "0d152f3c-59dc-71e0-1cfe-0a034b060000"


I would like to transform it in .csv or .xls file.

I did the following command
1)
Code:
<more filename>| awk -F\" '{print $1","$2}'> /tmp/monitor.csv

2) But I need to show in two field also the rows without double quote:
Code:
                        THRESHOLD 0.500000
                        RESET 0.500000

3) Further (and this is more complicate to achieve) I need the part of this file after HELPTEXT and before HELP will be visualized in a unique row:
Code:
                        HELPTEXT "OPS
=========
Please call out the support team"
                       others instruction
 others instruction
 HELP "0d152f3c-59dc-71e0-1cfe-0a034b060000"


Is possible to achieve all these 3 steps with awk and in a unique script? Smilie

Thanks in advance for any help,
Ant-one

Hello,
when I do your command, I receive the follow result:
Code:
                        THRESHOLD 0.500000
                        RESET 0.500000

My desired output is in .csv:
Code:
MONITOR,NAME_TEMPLATES
        DESCRIPTION,Monitors for contents of error
        INTERVAL,1m
        MONPROG ,script.sh NAME_TEMPLATES,
... 
..
..
..
..
 (same row 2 fields)THRESHOLD, 0.500000
                        RESET, 0.500000
                        HELPTEXT ,OPS,
 (same row)         ========= Please call out the support team" others instruction others instruction

Thanks,
Ant-one

Hi Ant-one, Try this,
Code:
awk -F\" '{gsub(/^ +/,"");if(/HELPTEXT/) {printf $0;flg=1;next}if(flg==1 && !/HELP/){printf $0" ";next} if(/HELP/){flg=0;print;next}if(/THRESHOLD / || /RESET /){gsub("THRESHOLD ","THRESHOLD,");gsub("RESET ","RESET,");print;next}print $1","$2}' inputfile

Hi,
I received the following error:

Quote:
awk: The string THRESHOLD cannot contain a newline character.
The source line is 2.
The error context is
;next} if(/HELP/){flg=0;print;next}if(/THRESHOLD / || /RESET /){gsub("THRESHOLD >>>
<<<
syntax error The source line is 3.
awk: The statement cannot be correctly parsed.
The source line is 3.
awk: There are 2 missing } characters.
awk: There is a missing ) character.
Thanks,
Ant-one

Hi,
first of all many thanks.
It worked fine for the major part, this is the ouput of your command:

,
HELPTEXT "OPS========= Please call out the support team" others instruction others instruction
Is it possible to split SEVERITY Major in 2 fields, please?

Quote:
SEVERITY Major,
The text shoul be in 2 part:

TEXT ,There have been new failures Processing the <$OPTION(area)> file on Central.

Instead:

Quote:
TEXT ,There have been new failures Processing the <$OPTION(area)>
,
file on Central.,
And the last part
Quote:

HELPTEXT "OPS========= Please call support team" HELP "0d152f3c-59dc-71e0-1cfe-0a034b060000"
Should be without the part HELP "0d152f3c-59dc-71e0-1cfe-0a034b060000" as follow:


Quote:
HELPTEXT "OPS========= Please call support team"
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Also try
Code:
nawk '/HELPTEXT/{x=$0;getline;do {x=x" "$0 ; getline}while ($0!~/HELP /);sub(/^ */,"",x);sub(" ",", ",x);sub(/  */," ",x);print x}NF>1{sub($1,$1",",$0)}1' infile

or
Code:
 nawk '/HELPTEXT/{x=$0;getline;do{x=x" "$0;getline}while($0!~/HELP /);sub(/ ["]OPS/,", \"OPS,",x);print x}NF>1{sub($1,$1",",$0)}1' infile

Hi,
thanks for your suggestion but there is not nawk on my server.

I have added severity into pravin27 code:

Quote:
awk -F\" '{gsub(/^ +/,"");if(/HELPTEXT/) {printf $0;flg=1;next}if(flg==1 && !/HELP/)
{printf $0" ";next} if(/HELP/){flg=0;print;next}if(/THRESHOLD / || /RESET / || /SEVERITY /)
{gsub("THRESHOLD ","THRESHOLD,");gsub("RESET ","RESET,");gsub("SEVERITY ","SEVERITY,");print;next}print $1","$2}' monitor
