Shell Programming and Scripting

Code:

awk '{ gsub(/\[|\]/,"");print $1,$2,$(NF-1),$NF }' "file"

sorry dude this just isnt working for me, heres my script :

#!/bin/ksh
set -A CLUSTER 1 2 3

i=0;
while [ i -lt 3 ];
do
cd /log/logdir${CLUSTER[$i]}

grep -i 'RESPONSE' Out.log > /tmp/tmpfile.log

cd /tmp/

/usr/bin/awk '{ gsub(/\[|\]/,"");print $1,$2,$(NF-1),$NF }'"tmpfile.log"

(( i=i+1 )) ;

done;


output i get is :


awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: illegal statement near line 1
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1

dude, leave a space between the awk parameters and the file name.

sorry that was a typo was trying to rush it, the line is actually as follows :


/usr/bin/awk '{ gsub(/\[|\]/,"");print $1,$2,$(NF-1),$NF }' "tmpfile.log"

and i still get the same error, any more suggestions ?

hi,
actually i got around the problem by using a while read LINE; loop. thanks for all your help.
