How to redirect in comma separated csv from grep
Hi,

I am newbie in unix.
Could someone tell me how do I redirect my grep output to a csv/excel ?
I have used below command but the outputs are appearing in one column Not in different column.
Code:
grep -e cmd -e cmd1 test.txt | cut -f 5 | sort | uniq -c> op.csv


I do not understand how do I specify comma(,) as a delimiter in output csv.
Please help.

Pls be more specific, telling us what system you're on, what the input is and how the desired output should look like. btw, of course there's only one column, as you only cut one col in your long pipe.

Hi RudiC,

I am sorry for the confusion. I am using Linux Ubuntu. And the output is not one column, because count will also appear.
So my desired output is like below:

count, field

10, field5
222,field5
5, field5
Code:
grep -e cmd -e cmd1 test.txt | cut -f 5 | sort | uniq -c | awk '{print}' OFS=,

The above code does not show output in console as I have shown above.

Thanks for quick answers.

Looking at your command line, I assume that you need the count of 5th tab-separated columns from each line of test.txt matching the criteria specified by grep.

Just change your command line to:

Code:
grep -e cmd -e cmd1 test.txt | cut -f 5 | sort | uniq -c|sed 's/\([0-9]\) /\1,/' > op.csv

Or use:

Code:
awk -F'\t' '/cmd1?/{a[$5]++}END{for(i in a) print a[i],i|"sort -t, -k2"}' OFS=, test.txt > op.csv

slight changes to my last post
please ignore the last one
Code:
grep -e cmd -e cmd1 test.txt | cut -f 5 | sort | uniq -c | awk '{$1=$1;print}' OFS=,> op.csv

OK, got you. Then consider using raj_saini20's suggestion or use tr ' ' ',' at the end of the pipe. (You also might want to sort -n by numerical value?)
