Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,

I have a requirement to put all the varibles used in an awk command in a separate file. This is because i have arround 100 variables used in an awk command. So i want to put all the variables used for the awk command in a separate file.

Please help me on this.

Thanks in adv.

This is because i have arround 100 variables used in an awk command

show your awk command

awk -F'|' 'BEGIN{a=1;b=2;c=3;d=4;e=5} {if($1=a){...} if($2=b){...}....}' < input_file

The command is like this...

I want to put all the variable used here like a,b,c,d,e in a separate file... and want to use here in the if statement of awk command...

Please let me know if there is any way for this...

Thanks..

in the end of awk

Code:

 
awk -F'|' 'BEGIN{a=1;b=2;c=3;d=4;e=5} {if($1=a){...} if($2=b){...}....} {print a,b,c > "out.txt"}'

Hi..

I need the input variables in an input file... like:-

a=1;b=2;c=3;d=4;e=5; -----> in an input file

This is because, i have more than 100 variables used here. And if in future i hv some modifications in the variables value, then no need to open the file and do the modification which have the awk command. just i can modify the input file having variables there...thats why I want to put all the input variables in a separate file.

So, please let me know is it possible...

thanks...

what is the purpose ? and what kind of script you are doing ?

provide the input expected output

i'm not clear about you want to which condition and input and desired?
but try something

Code:

# cat test
a=1;b=2;c=3;d=4;e=5
# awk -F';' '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){split($i,a,"=");if(a[2]==++xx)print a[1]"="a[2]>a[1]}}' test
# cat a
a=1
# cat b
b=2
# cat c
c=3
# cat d
d=4
# cat e
e=5
