Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All,

I have an awk code below.
I have an input file which has a line which has a last field with about 4000 characters and it pop up an error stated below. It is too much for awk to take ?

Awk Code:
{if( $NF == "2007" && $1 == "**" ) LINE = $0;}
END{printf("%20s\n",LINE); }

Error:
$nawk -f getfull_line_awk myinputfile
nawk: input record `0017c C12efusecntl0 ...' too long
input record number 2795, file myinputfile source line number 1

show the whole code. also show a sample of the input file as well as describe the output that you are expecting

This is actually the full code.
My aim is to capture the last occurence of such a pattern eg: ** sdcs sdcs ssdsd 2007

Awk Code:
{if( $NF == "2007" && $1 == "**" ) LINE = $0;}
END{printf("%20s\n",LINE); }

Input:

you want to get : ** eee eee ee ee ee eee 2007 right?
i have no problem with your code:

Code:

# ./test.sh
** eee eee ee ee ee eee 2007

i use gawk. Is it always the last 3rd record ? If it is,

Code:

awk '
{  
   last3=last2
   last2=save
   save=$0
}END {
   print last3
}' "file"

output:

Code:

./testnew.sh
** eee eee ee ee ee eee 2007

hi,

Try using nawk.
I faced similar problem which is sorted after using nawk.

nawk 'BEGIN {LINE =0} if( $NF == "2007" && $1 == "**" ) {LINE = $0}
END{printf("%20s\n",LINE)}'

hope this will work.

Hi Ghostdog,

You mean you can get the expected output with my 2nd input which has the "0017c" term ? Make sure the zeros comes after "0017c C12efusecntl0 read_rr" in your try out. EG -> "0017c C12efusecntl0 read_rr 000......."
If you copy and paste the input straight from the screen here, you will not get the input right.

And sorry it is not always the last 3 line. It is random.
