Using the default field separator, there's just two fields in your file, so why use -k5 for sorting?
As you don't show the directory structure, and seem to keep changing targets, I'd suggest to play around with the sub regexes until it fits what you need. Also, I still don't understand why you keep the space in the regex making it pointless.
For your function, why don't you cd into the correct directory at the beginning?
I used sort -k5 because I need it to sort by the 5th column from my print $5, which it does. Is there a better way of doing it?
Initially, I was doing cd into the directory and running the function there and that's fine, everything displays properly (with the function edited of course to remove what I added). What I would like to do is be able to run my function from any directory as I have a few different job functions, and it's easier on me to stay in my main directory where I do a lot of my work. Eventually, I'll have everything I need automated into an alias or function so I don't have to jump around at all.
I added the space in print $5 " " FILENAME to make the output look the way I want it. I like this [10.0R4.7] device1-r0.cpe.domain.net over this [10.0R4.7]device1-r0.cpe.domain.net I just like how that looks.
Here is where I'm at now
Which gives me the output of: [10.0R4.7] /home/clmbn-eng2/a/rwalker/svn/nw_config_data/device-r0.cpe.domain.net/
Using a key outside the range makes sort ignore it and use the entire line for a key which by accident is what you want. print $5 will print one single field which in the output is field 1 (becoming the default key, then).
You can use another sub (...) to remove the leading path from the file name.

You could cd to the working dir, and cd back to the original dir when finished.

So, I should have used sort -g instead? I tested with that and it worked too.
I know I can cd in and out as I need to. It's not that big of a deal, it's just something I wanted to accomplish with a function.

Why -g ?
-g because it sorts numerically, which I need based on the software version number. Older software versions need to be at the top of my list, which -g has also accomplished.
If this also works by accident, I'm fine with that.

I added cd to my function to jump into that directory, run the script, then cd back to where I want to be and everything is exactly as I need it.
You've taught me a lot in the last day or so, RudiC, whether it may appear that way or not haha!
Came back to playing with this. I found that just a plan old sortdoes the sort as I need. RudiC, I think you were trying to point me in that direction previously with your questions about why use -k5and-g
After presenting this to the boss, he really liked it and wants to get it implemented in the system for everyone to use, but not without a few changes. This brings me back to a previous problem and introduced new issues (of course, new features = new problems to debug).
What I have currently is:
Which then outputs: [10.0R4.7] /home/clmbn-eng2/a/rwalker/svn/nw_config_data/device-r0.cpe.domain.net
I've been trying to strip this out out /home/clmbn-eng2/a/rwalker/svn/nw_config_data/so that my output looks like this instead [10.0R4.7] device-r0.cpe.domain.netbut I can't get it right. To test it I replaced "/show.version"with the full path, and that got rid of it, but left the /show.version.
RudiC, you had mentioned another sub(...)but I failed horribly at implementing it. I tried setting it up like this:
but I get this error, and I just am not sure how to do it right
Notice that in the path after the /a/is my username. If I want this to work for everyone, I can't have my username there. So, I tried setting it up like this "/home/clmbn-eng2/a/*/svn/nw_config_data/" to use the *as a wildcard, but that doesn't work and just shows me the full path again. I checked the /home/clmbn-eng2/a/directory and I see all the different users there, so I'm wondering if maybe in this instance *doesn't work as a wildcard search? If that's the case, how do I wildcard it to make this command friendly for everyone?
Once I sort out how to wildcard that part of the directory, and remove the filepath up to the device name AND the "/show.version"I can move on to what the boss wants next. He wants one command that contains all 3 cpe subdomains we have that can be hit with a variable like -c, -e, or -o. I'm still researching how to do all the different variables and stuff with awk, so for now I have this setup as a starting point for after I learn some more and figure out the multiple subs to strip out stuff I don't want to show:
awk's sub function needs two or three parameters; you supply but one. awk uses regexes, not (shell) patterns; the latter uses * for a wildcard char, the former [ICODE] . [/ICODE, optionally followed by a repetition char, one of which would be * . But, beware of false matches - e.g. a / would match as well.
I'd propose to consult man awk.
However, try this amended version of your command: ---------- Post updated at 12:38 ---------- Previous update was at 12:33 ----------
or a shortcut version:
---------- Post updated at 12:42 ---------- Previous update was at 12:38 ----------
And , to your boss' wishes: how familiar are you with shell functions and shell parameters? And the case ... esac construct?
Currently using below script but echo it print the output in two line.

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)
