how to make syntax into a korn script??
ok i have this script called script.nawk:


BEGIN {print "List\n"}
BEGIN {print "AL"}
BEGIN {print "AM"}
/EAST/ {print $3, $2}
END {print "End of Report"}

How would I change this so that I don't have to type nawk -f script.nawk filename?

Instead just run it as a korn script?

thanks!

$ chmod +x script.nawk
$ script.nawk myInputFile

script.awk:
Code:
#!/bin/nawk -f

BEGIN {print "List\n"}
BEGIN {print "AL"}
BEGIN {print "AM"}
/EAST/ {print $3, $2}
END {print "End of Report"}

thank you for your reply.
What if i want to make it a .ksh file???

so far I have this:

#!/bin/ksh


echo "List"
echo "AL"
echo "AM"


echo "End of Report"

But I dont know how to put the /EAST/ {print $3, $2} statement to make it work.

Thanks!

why bother? use the applicable tools for the job:

$ chmod +x script.ksh
$ script.ksh myInputFile

script.ksh:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

nawk ' 
   BEGIN {print "List\n"}
   BEGIN {print "AL"}
   BEGIN {print "AM"}
  /EAST/ {print $3, $2}
  END {print "End of Report"}' "${1}"

is the $1 the input file put at the command line after script name?

Also when do you know to use:

print
echo
or begin???

By the way it worked but it did not grab any data from my file???

thanks!

Either
  1. your data file is not what you think it's
  2. your awk script is wrong
Post a sample file and the desired result.
