Awk: Replacement using 2 diff files input and comparison
Requirement:
If $5(date field) in ipfile is less than $7(date field) in deact file & $1 of ipfile is present in deactfile then
$1 to be replaced by $2,$3,$4,$5,$6 of deact file
else if $5(date field) in ipfile is greater than $7(date field) in actfile & $1 of ipfile is present in actfile then
$1 to be replaced by $2,$3,$4,$5,$6 of actfile.
IPFILE
ACTFILE:
DEACTFILE:
Present Code which only does replacement based on $1 checking and not on $5(date field) of ipfile:
Please help as i am unable to put the date field checks in the code.
Since you are only comparing dates and one date is in YYmmddHHMMSS format and the other in YYmmdd, you could just slap "000000" at the end of the latter and do a numerical comparison.

Thanks scrutinizer, I will use substr for the date field for the numerical comparison, but getting confused in how to place the required checks in awk(existing code shared), can you suggest the condition for the same in code?
Thanks Akshay. The code did worked with minor modifications. Just need another advice in case there are multiple entries in DEACT file then how to handle such scenario based on the different input. Please refer the updated deact file & updated ipfile.
