Without doing much testing, I think that -a is sort of the same as the empty or no-opt version before, which I proposed to solve with X="*". As you showed that the ...**... did not work for the awk input stream, X="" might do, but this is already used to tell correct from incorrect parameters. There's two possible ways to go - either prefix an * to every X definition, and remove the explicit * from the awk command, or define X=NoOpt for example at the start of the function, and preceding the awk test for this string instead for the empty string.
I decided to not go with -a|allbecause it's just completely against what the cverfunction is about. It's not very practical, and I don't think anyone would want to do it anyway. It was a thing to try for fun.
I did try your suggestions, and here's what happened.
"prefix an * to every Xdefinition, and remove the explicit *from the awkcommand" gave me the ...**... issue again.
"define X=NoOpt for example at the start of the function, and preceding the awk" caused cver alone to try to search for ...NoOpt.domain.net
I'm still looking into assigning ?for help. I haven't really come across anything useful yet, but if/when I do I will share.

Alright, I believe I found the answer. ?is already in use basically, so you can't define it. It seems that using -his the command commonly used in place of ?
It's easier for me to impose my will upon others (aka make them use -h) haha! I did pick up on that getopt/getopts loop from my digging around on the internet. Good thing it's not important and -hworks.
There's a script someone created that helps in digging up customer equipment configs that's fairly robust, and whoever created it also opted for -hfor help. Since people are used to that already, I don't need to make ?work.
I wanted to play more with this to make -vbe the actual command someone types to search out the software version instead of using the 3rd column of the command ($3) as the thing that triggers the search.
So I got to thinking how that could be possible, and I don't know if this is possible or not, but here's what I had in mind...
1) Remove -vSRCH="$3" and SRCHfrom the awkcommand.
2) In the case, assign -vand have it contain the $5 ~ "^[[]" part of my awk
3) -v then "injects" the awkcode between &&and {sub(...) and still runs like it does now.
Again, I'm not sure if this is possible, but it would please this tiny voice in my mind saying "Yeah it works, but not the exact way you intended". I tried doing it on my own, but -vdoesn't do anything, but also doesn't break my other commands luckily.

Hi.
If you are using zsh, then perhaps item 6 below may help:
Code:
Process command-line (CLI) options, arguments
1) getopts, builtin, bash, ksh, zsh
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/402377/using-getopts-in-bash-shell-script-to-get-long-and-short-command-line-options
2) libgetopt-euclid-perl, creates man page, help automatically
3) getopt, enhanced getopts, part of the util-linux, allows GNU "--"
Examples: /usr/share/doc/util-linux/examples, 2016.03.27
4) argp, wrapper for getopt, creates man and help (text, XML), etc.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/argpsh/, 2016.03.27
5) ksh getopts, enhanced, process GNU "--", create man, help, etc.
Examples: Learning the Korn Shell, O'Reilly, 2nd, p 380ff
6) zsh zparseopts
man zshmodules, part of zshutil
Currently using below script but echo it print the output in two line.

I'm having problems since few days ago, and i'm not able to make it works with a simple awk+grep script (or other way to do this).

I am performing a grep command and I need to know how to echo "NONE" or "0" to my file if grep does not find what i am looking for.
echo What i found >> My_File
grep "SOMETHING" >> My_File
I am sure this is easy, I am sort of new at this!
Thanks (2 Replies)
