Is this only print the output to the screen how about if write to another file with desame filename but on other directory:
something like this:
Code:
awk '(/^ \[A.B/ && sub(/,/,"<br>") && gsub(/[\[\]]/,""))+1' file >/tmp/file
awk '(/^ \[A.B/ && sub(/,/,"<br>") && gsub(/[\[\]]/,""))+1' file1 >/tmp/file1

Here I have done now
Code:
find /root/dir/ -name *.* | awk '{print "awk '\'\/\<div" "id\=\\\\\\'"""left\'\\'\'\"""\/{a\=1}\/\<\\\\\\\!""""--" "footer" "template" "--\>\/{print\;a\=0}a\'' "$1}'

Ouput:
Code:
awk '/<div id=\"left\"/{a=1}/<\!-- footer template -->/{print;a=0}a' /root/dir/2000/file1.htm
awk '/<div id=\"left\"/{a=1}/<\!-- footer template -->/{print;a=0}a' /root/dir/2000/file2.htm

I want to achieve something like this:
Code:
awk '/<div id=\"left\"/{a=1}/<\!-- footer template -->/{print;a=0}a' /root/dir/2000/file1.htm >/root/dir1/2000/file1.htm
awk '/<div id=\"left\"/{a=1}/<\!-- footer template -->/{print;a=0}a' /root/dir/2000/file2.htm >/root/dir1/2000/file2.htm

You know, the reason for using all those ungodly escapes is the shell. If you make an awk script file and then, call it as awk -f filename it would eliminate quite a bit of clutter.

However, I have the impression that what you're doing is the equivalent of taking an automatic M16 rifle, bend it with a slight curve, along its body, attach a string to the barrel and to the stock and try to shoot arrows with it.

Nevertheless, without a clearer explanation of what's the end result, that's what you got.

Anything else following a \ in a bracket expression produces undefined behavior.

In a bracket expression, if the first character inside the brackets (or immediately after the ^ in a non-matching list in a non-matching bracket expression) is a closing bracket, that closing bracket is a character in the list; not a terminator for the matching expression. And, inside a bracket expression, there is nothing special about an opening bracket except when it appears as the start of a collating symbol expression, the start of an equivalence class expression, or the start of a character class expression. So, two standard ways to specify an ERE containing a bracket expression matching the two characters [ and ] in awk are /[][]/ and "[][]".

Thank you so much Don I got something new to learn from you Smilie.
