I have this perl code and when run see extra "|" at the end of each line. And not sure how to code remove it or can write shell script easier.....can someone help? Thanks
Code:
 
 #!/usr/bin/perl 
 my $filename = 'abc.txt';
open(my $fh, '<:encoding(UTF-8)', $filename)  or die "Could not open file '$filename' $!";
print "FILE_NAME,Filename|Data Format|Compression|GZIP Bytes|Unzipped Bytes|Records|Record Length";
while (my $row = <$fh>) {
  chomp $row;
  my ($label, $value) = split /: /, $row;
  if ($row eq '') {
    print "\n";
  }
  else
  {
     print "$value|";
  }
}

/test1> ./test.pl
Code:
FILE_NAME,Filename|Data Format|Compression|GZIP Bytes|Unzipped Bytes|Records|Record Length|||||

Except for the strange field 1 header in your output, the following awk script seems to produce the output you requested:
Code:
awk -F ' : ' '
NF == 2 {
	if(h < 7)
		printf("%s%s", $1, (++h == 7) ? ORS : OFS)
	o = f++ ? (o OFS $2) : $2
	if(f == 7) {
		print o
		o = ""
		f = 0
	}
}' OFS='|' file

which prints:
Code:
Filename|Data Format|Compression|GZIP Bytes|Unzipped Bytes|Records|Record Length
SW_PP_CTRL_20170505.txt.gz|ASCII with carriage returns and linefeeds|GZIP|2019064|11413730|95788|157
SW_PP_DATA_20170505.txt.gz|ASCII with carriage returns and linefeeds|GZIP|691778058|8316153069|60400481|158
SW_PP_DEMO_20170505.txt.gz|ASCII with carriage returns and linefeeds|GZIP|26240709|77053000|543250|227
SW_PP_PLANXREF_20170505.txt.gz|ASCII with carriage returns and linefeeds|GZIP|557904|3061930|16262|310
SW_PP_PRODUCT_20170505.txt.gz|ASCII with carriage returns and linefeeds|GZIP|21375|229431|1264|211
SW_PP_REASSIGN_20170505.txt.gz|ASCII with carriage returns and linefeeds|GZIP|32681|69399|802|130

This could have been done much more simply with:
Code:
awk -F ' : |\n' '
NF == 14 {
	if(!h) {h = 1
		print $1, $3, $5, $7, $9, $11, $13
	}
	print $2, $4, $6, $8, $10, $12, $14
}' OFS='|' RS='' file2

if the blank lines in your input file had been empty lines instead (i.e., no <space> characters on the blank lines between records).

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

Thank you for your help Mr.Don. I run the code and output 1 line header should no space and require extra 'FILE_NAME,' like below. Could you please help out again?

Code:
FILE_NAME,Filename|Data Format|Compression|GZIP Bytes|Unzipped Bytes|Records|Record Length

/test :./abc1

If you copied the code I gave you and you executed that code as given, the output you showed us is not the output that would have been produced unless your sample input file format is significantly different from the input file you used when you ran my script.

With a very simple script like the one I suggested, it should be easy for you to modify it to print a constant header line that doesn't try to use the field headings found in the data being read. Why don't you try modifying the code I suggested and let us know where you run into problems if you can't make it work?

Thank you mr.Don. Yes...the input had space.....anyway. I got it work.....thank you for your input.....Smilie

Code:
 
 Filename         : SW_PP_PRODUCT_20170505.txt.gz
  Data Format     : ASCII with carriage returns and linefeeds
  Compression     : GZIP
  GZIP Bytes      : 21375
  Unzipped Bytes  : 229431
  Records         : 1264
  Record Length   : 211

You're welcome. Would you like to show us what you did so others reading your thread can learn from your experience?

(1) Your input file has a "readme" block at the start. You process it as if it were a normal line, which results in the vertical bars added to your header line.

(2) Instead of
Code:
if ($row = '')

, I would reverse the test and ask, whether a line contains a colon - and only then split it:

Code:
if ($row =~ /:/)
   # .... split
else
   # .... process other lines
end

Actually, you can even get rid of the split by

Code:
if ($row =~ /:(.*)/)
  # ..... The part after the colon is now stored in $1
else
  # .... process non-colon lines
end



(3) Note that, if you find a value, you always print it as "$value|". This means that every line has a vertical bar at the end.

(4) If your input has a sequence of more than one lines without a colon, you would also produce the same number of empty lines in the output.
