Help with awk command on report with headings
Hi all, I have a report that looks like this:

Code:
-------------------------------------------------
--                AOC - XXXXXXX                --
-------------------------------------------------

    Thread Last Sequence Received Last Sequence Applied Difference
---------- ---------------------- --------------------- ----------
         1                  64069                 64069          0


-------------------------------------------------
--                AOC - XXXXXXXXX              --
-------------------------------------------------

    Thread Last Sequence Received Last Sequence Applied Difference

         1                 259202                259202          0


-------------------------------------------------
--                AOC - XXXXXXXX               --
-------------------------------------------------

    Thread Last Sequence Received Last Sequence Applied Difference
---------- ---------------------- --------------------- ----------
         1                  77523                 77523          0


If I only care about the Difference field (the last one). How do I use the awk command to skip the headings and just concencreate on the numerical lines of data?

Not quite sure what you're after. Is that one single file with subsections and respective headings, and you just want the last field of the data lines only? Any attempts / ideas / thoughts from your side? Any preferred tools?

That report is one single file. I know how to get awk to give me the last field (Difference) if there were no headings. What I don't know how or if I and do is skip the headings and column names and just go after the data.

making assumptions based on a sample file:
Code:
awk '$NF!~"^--" {print $NF}' RS= myFile

If there are but digits and spaces in the lines of interest:


Code:
awk 'NF && !/[^0-9 ]/ {print $NF}' file

Thanks everyone. I'll try it.

Yet another awk recipe...
Code:
awk '{if($NF+0) print $NF}' file
