As you can see here, it outputs everything just fine expect for when it got to the name that has a space in it "checking logs". the goal here is to have that be on one line like every other name. so the output should be:
So why are you wasting time putting double-quotes in an echo command that you know are going to be stripped by the shell before echo sees its arguments? Is this echo command producing output that is an accurate representation of the data that you really want the rest of this pipeline to process?
Aia,
Since the submitter doesn't want the double quotes anyway. A simpler awk script (ignoring the unneeded double-quotes in the original echo command) would be:
But, of course, this only works if the character sequence <comma><space> never appears inside a what might have been intended to be a double-quoted string in the field that is being processed by awk.
This User Gave Thanks to Don Cragun For This Post:
Under normal circumstances, i'd be quick to snatch up the awk commands that were provided so far in this thread. but in this particular case, i need a way to preserve the space between the "checking logs" and have it be on the same line as shown above.
the initial command i provided in my first post and which is also provided below is necessary in this scenario unless there's a better awk version of it that does exactly the same thing:
Code:
awk -F"]" '{print $1}' | cut -d'[' -f2- | sed 's_ _\n_g' | sed '/^\s*$/d'

In bash or perl, I would like to know how to substitute a null character (0x00) for every white space without changing the white spaces inside the block of double quotes and the white space immediately following a backslash.
Suppose that sample.txt consists of the following line.
"b 1" c\ 2

We ran into a problem because of a shop that uses Windows and UNIX.
The file names that Windows uses have spaces in them. When they get moved to the unix system they still have spaces. This produces a problem in our script that moves them again from one unix system to another. I've made up a... (2 Replies)
