[Solved] Need to add Single quotes to particular lines
Hi Guys,

I have the following file.

Code:
DbName=DBNAME
DbUser=USERID
DbPass=PASSLL
SrcLocation=/appl/data/VSTAR
SrcFile1=gmb_dly_ind_sls_20120410133424.txt
SrcFile2=
IpLocation=/appl/data/VSTAR/global_daily/input/GMB
IpFile=gmb_dly_ind_sls_20120410133424.txt
OutLocation=/appl/data/VSTAR/global_daily/output
OutFile1=GMB_D_Stg_IndSls_Ld_040.txt
OutFile2=GMB_D_Stg_IndSls_Ld_040.txt
BatchTrkId=323
BusinessUnit=GMB
Country=BRAZIL
CurrSlsDate=
PriorSlsDate=

I like to search for Country and BusinessUnit keyword and I like to add Single quotes(') after + and at the end.
The Output should be as below.

Code:
DbName=GMNGSRDB
DbUser=NGSRALL
DbPass=NGSRALL
SrcLocation=/appl/data/VSTAR
SrcFile1=gmb_dly_ind_sls_20120410133424.txt
SrcFile2=
IpLocation=/appl/data/VSTAR/global_daily/input/GMB
IpFile=gmb_dly_ind_sls_20120410133424.txt
OutLocation=/appl/data/VSTAR/global_daily/output
OutFile1=GMB_D_Stg_IndSls_Ld_040.txt
OutFile2=GMB_D_Stg_IndSls_Ld_040.txt
BatchTrkId=323
BusinessUnit='GMB'
Country='BRAZIL'
CurrSlsDate=
PriorSlsDate=

Please somebody help me out here..

Cheers!!!!

Thanks guruprasdpr,,, I came up with this command.
Code:
awk -F'=' '/Country|BusinessUnit/{print $1 "=\x27" $2 "\x27" }'

But it was giving only those two records,, Can you tell me what i did wrong.

Cheers!!!!!

Hi

Its displaying only those two because your filter is set for only those 2. Try this:

Code:
awk -F'=' '/Country|BusinessUnit/{print $1 "=\x27" $2 "\x27";next}1' file

The '1' makes every line to get printed by default. The 'next' is to prevent those filtered lines from getting printed again by the '1'.

Guru.
