Script to increase Timeout values in Configuration File
Hi Guys
I am using one configuration file for reading some time out values.The format of the file is
Code:
A.Type = Number
A.Val = 2000
B.Type = Number
B.Val = 4000

Now my requirement is I need to write a shell script in Solaris where i need to increase these timeout values by 10 times of current values.

As follows
Code:
A.Type = Number
A.Val = 20000
B.Type = Number
B.Val = 40000

awk sub or awk gsub commands are not working in Solaris

When in solaris, always use nawk or use /usr/xpg4/bin/awk
Code:
awk -F= '/Val/{$NF=$NF*10}1' input_file

Your command is working but its printing as follows
Code:
awk -F= '/Val/{ $NF= $NF*10 } {print $0 } ' test.cfg


A.Type = Number
A.Val  20000
B.Type = Number
B.Val  40000

Provided there are always spaces between the equal sign and the value, you can drop the -F option:

Code:
awk  '/Val/{$NF=$NF*10}1' input-file
