How to script / command this in UNIX?
Hello Guys,

From a given file I have to find out what are all values for "Application States :" and how many of them have same state.

eg :

If there are possible states in file :

Code:
Application States : Normal
Application States : Terminated
Application States : Pending

and if there are 10 Normal, 2 Terminated and 15 Pending applications then I want to have some script or unix grep command to show something like this :

Code:
Application States : Normal         : total = 10
Application States : Terminated   : total = 02
Application States : Pending        : total = 15

What would be the exact unix command or script to achieve above?

What have you tried to solve this problem on your own?

Are we to assume by your login name that you are using an AIX system?

I use below approach but its time consuming and not efficient Smilie
So i want to know how to do it in one command :

Code:
grep "Application States :" filename | sort | uniq

then depending on states I grep as below for each state

Code:
grep "Application States : Normal" filename | wc -l

Try and see if that works for you. If it does not work, please, post why and how it fails.
Code:
awk -F' : ' '
$1 == "Application States" {app[$2]++}
END {for(a in app){printf "Application States : %s : total = %02d\n", a, app[a]}
}' aixusrsys.file

Thanks, but it didn't returned anything and I confirmed the input file has multiple "Application States". Please let me know is any other way.

You didn't provide any actual sample input, you didn't answer my question about what operating system you're using, and the application "states" you've shown us look more like possible values for "application status" than "application state". So, if Aia's suggestion doesn't work, you might also try:
Code:
awk '
/^Application Sta/ {
	c[$0]++
	if(length($0) > m)
		m = length($0)
}
END {	for(i in c)
		printf("%-*s   : total = %02d\n", m, i, c[i])
}' file

If you want to try this on a Solaris/SunOS system, change awk to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk or nawk.

Is it possible to post a few copy and paste lines from the original file?
Either the white spacing or the "Application States" string is not accurate in your example.
