Hi,
I have created a tab separated file from the following input file.
As I was only interested in columns 1,2,4 and 5 and i wanted to reorganize it, I used the following awk command.
The above code has created the following output file.
However, when i open this file with excel on Windows and i specify it is a tab delimited file, The complete row is shown as a single column. Whereas in UNIX when i check this file with the following command It shows that there are 4 columns.
Am I missing something, how to fix this. I use the output file as an input to some java program, I tried debugging the java program and found out that the total row is considered as a single column, instead of 4 columns
Your "\t"'s are causing the output to *display* with the tabs expanded and replaced with space characters. You need an actual tab character instead.
Delete the "\t"'s in the print command and instead, inside the double-quotes type <CTRL-V><CTRL-I> to insert an actual tab character. In vi use the ":set list" command to show you the tab characters as a "^I" and end-of-line as a "$".
Output redirected to a file, viewed in vi with :set list looks like this:
Now any program expecting a tab-delimited file will see the actual tab characters and parse correctly.
In the gawk below, I am trying to output the file tab-deliminated but don't think that is the correct syntax. Thank you :).
gawk OFS='/t' '{sub(/-+/,"",$2); ar=$0}
END{n = asort(ar)
for (i = 1; i <= n; i++)
print ar}' file (2 Replies)

Hello,
I am trying to parse a file that resembles the last three groupings into something looking like the first two lines. I've fiddled with sed and awk a bit, but can't get anything to work properly. I need them separated by some delimiter. The file is some 23,000 lines of the stuff....
