The issue is, I'm looking for that blank, and there is usually only 1 or 2 missing information in the second(9) column but there are also page breaks of 2-3 blank lines. It always has a 2 digit number, or it is blank.
What I'm wanting is it to say
"searching for missing LD...."
and then output the missing only
54-23-
6-8-454
Hopefully I explained well enough

THANK YOU!!! I understand, I put as much in as I could.. alot of the input is information I can't share so I had to simulate the output. Sorry. But that did what I wanted it to for now. Eventually I'm going to try and get it to take that first colomn and pull the employee it refers to. The first column is an emp ID. this file doesn't display the names of the employees, just some useless information to me and those two columns. from that step I have to go though and match it to an emp called by another script and I grep out the ID
for example his will output
6-8-454
I would then take this and do
tkemp | grep -a2 "6-8-454"
Which gives me
Name: YUNAS, XXXXX
ID: 6-8-454
I then know who I need to contact :-D
Hopefully I will get better at this and have this scripted and automated, so it only takes me a few minutes a day instead of an hour.

#
echo -e "--- Checking for missing Labor"
sleep 2
#This scans tkxtrn and looks for a missing LD and
#turns it into a variable only works if 1 is missing
LD=`tkxtrn | awk ' !(/File/ || /Page/) && NF > 2 && !$9 { printf( "%s \n", $5 ); }'`
if [ "${LD}" == "" ]; then
echo "No missing LD's found"
else
# This takes the ID of the missing emp and greps it from tkemp
echo "Please correct the missing LD for"
tkemp | grep -ia5 "${LD}"
fi
#------------------------------------------------
It works, and eliminated hours of paging through files!!
Now if I can learn enough to get it to output more than one.. sometimes there are 3 or 4 missing as this only works for one. I have a feeling this is going to be much more involved...

With a small adjustment to your script, it might work for multiple ones. I cannot test it, so I don't know if I've fat-fingered anything, but it's a start:
Code:
#/usr/bin/env bash
echo "checking for missing labour"
#This scans tkxtrn and looks for a missing LD and
#turns it into a variable only works if 1 is missing
nfound=0 # count number found to put out "all ok" message if there were none
# run the pipe and for each LD written, read it into the variable and do the grep on it.
tkxtrn | awk ' !(/File/ || /Page/) && NF > 2 && !$9 { printf( "%s \n", $5 ); }' | while read LD
do
(( nfound++ ))
echo "Please correct the missing LD for: $( tkemp | grep -ia5 "${LD}" )"
done
if (( nfound < 1 ))
then
echo "No missing LDs found"
fi
There might be a way to do it with just one execution of the 'tkxtrn' command, but without knowing a bit about the output I cannot say. I understand the need to not share sensitive info, so if you're willing to live with a bit of inefficiency, and this works, then go for it.
I pass a number to my script. Passing "1" below.

Number 1 should get me the last row of ls -ltr output i.e... (9 Replies)
