Stuck on a text find and append task
Hi,

Bit of a tricky one for first post and hoping someone can help me out here.

I've got some code that I'm trying to consolidate by taking the first line where it says "OUTPUT", remove the : and append it after a space where the are occurences of ".csv", and then take the next occurence of "OUTPUT", remove the : and do the same.

So this is what the data looks like:

OUTPUT_20110812_256921/20110901:
Code:
total 123454453
-rwxrwxrwx   1 testuser testuser 29343434 Sep 12 15:59 DUMMY.csv
-rwxrwxrwx   1 testuser testuser       8 Sep 12 15:59 DUMMY.control

OUTPUT_20110916_223232/20110912:
Code:
total 26786786878
-rwxrwxrwx   1 testuser testuser   11111 Oct  5 04:27 ALPHA.csv
-rwxrwxrwx   1 testuser testuser       2 Oct  5 04:27 ALPHA.control
-rwxrwxrwx   1 testuser testuser  22222 Oct  9 04:00 BETA.csv
-rwxrwxrwx   1 testuser testuser       4 Oct  9 04:00 BETA.control

...and this is what I'm trying to get to (for every line with a .csv in):
Code:
-rwxrwxrwx   1 testuser testuser 29343434 Sep 12 15:59 DUMMY.csv OUTPUT_20110812_256921/20110901
-rwxrwxrwx   1 testuser testuser   11111 Oct  5 04:27 ALPHA.csv OUTPUT_20110916_223232/20110912
-rwxrwxrwx   1 testuser testuser  22222 Oct  9 04:00 BETA.csv OUTPUT_20110916_223232/20110912

Can anyone help please? Smilie

Hello,

It's a request please use code tags for commands input and output as per forum rules. Also following code may help you.

Code:
awk '/OUTPUT/ {f=$0}; /.csv/ {g=$0" "f} gsub(/\:/,X,g) {print g}' check_data_file_in_line

output will be as follows.

Code:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 testuser testuser 29343434 Sep 12 1559 DUMMY.csv OUTPUT_20110812_256921/20110901
-rwxrwxrwx 1 testuser testuser 11111 Oct 5 0427 ALPHA.csv OUTPUT_20110916_223232/20110912
-rwxrwxrwx 1 testuser testuser 22222 Oct 9 0400 BETA.csv OUTPUT_20110916_223232/20110912


Thanks,
R. Singh

Try also
Code:
awk 'NF==1 {sub(/:/,""); P=$1} /csv$/ {print $0,P}'  file
-rwxrwxrwx 1 testuser testuser 29343434 Sep 12 15:59 DUMMY.csv OUTPUT_20110812_256921/20110901
-rwxrwxrwx 1 testuser testuser 11111 Oct 5 04:27 ALPHA.csv OUTPUT_20110916_223232/20110912
-rwxrwxrwx 1 testuser testuser 22222 Oct 9 04:00 BETA.csv OUTPUT_20110916_223232/20110912
