Need expertise on awk
Hi everyone. I need some help on how to fix this.

I am getting positive result using the log file below and this command
Code:
awk -v t="06:10:22.211" -F'|' -v main=" RBL: " -v trig="BIOS-INFO" '$2 ~ t && $7 ~ main { first = $0; getline; } first && $7 ~ trig { printf "%s\n", first; exit }' log

Code:
|06:10:22.211| mymachine |2|     | kernel :|            RBL: RBL Code 10
|06:10:22.211| mymachine |1|     | kernel :|            DRPD: DRPD 789123
|06:10:22.211| mymachine |2|     | kernel :|            RTR: RTR Incomplete
|06:10:22.211| mymachine |2|     | kernel :|RunThread() - This is it BIOS-INFOXXX : Alert, get info on the upper part.


but with this log im getting negative results.

Code:
|06:10:22.201| mymachine |2|     | kernel :|            RBL: RBL Code 10
|06:10:22.201| mymachine |1|     | kernel :|            DRPD: DRPD 789123
|06:10:22.201| mymachine |2|     | kernel :|            RTR: RTR Incomplete
|06:10:22.211| mymachine |2|     | kernel :|RunThread() - This is it BIOS-INFOXXX : Alert, get info on the upper part.

How can i fix the script to match the timestamp "06:10:22.211" first then get the trigger value even though the timestamp different?

thanks in advance.

Your 2nd log file and pattern does not match! What is it that you really want?

Hi Ahamed101,

Yes that is right, 2nd log file and pattern doesn't match but the 2nd log file is supposed to be what I really want to match and achieve.

How should I get results based on the 2nd log?

thanks.

May be this is what you want.

Code:
awk -v t="06:10:22.211" -F'|' -v main=" RBL: " -v trig="BIOS-INFO" '$7 ~ main { first = $0 } $2 ~ t && $7 ~ trig { printf "%s\n", first; exit }' log

If not, please explain it once more.
