Shell Programming and Scripting

Suppose u have this file

gi_1 ABCDEFDHIJ KMNOPQRSTU VWXYZABCDE
gi_2 JKLMNOPQRS TUVWXYZABC DEFGHIJKLM
gi_3 PQRSTUVWXY ZABCDEFGHI JKLMNOPQRS
gi_4 CDEFGHIJKL MNOPQRSTUV WXYZABCDEF
gi_5 IJKLMNOPQR STUVWXYZAB CDEFGHIJKLM

FGHIJKLMNO PQRSTUVWXY ZABCDEFABC
NOPQRSTUVW XYZABCDEFG HIJKLMNOPQ
TUVWXYZABC DEFGHIJKLM NPQRSTUVWX
GHIJKLMNOP QRSTUVWXYZ ABCDEFGHIJ
NOPQRSTUVW XYZABCDEFG HIJKLMNOPQ

so the output shud be like that

gi_1 ABCDEFDHIJ KMNOPQRSTU VWXYZABCDE FGHIJKLMNO PQRSTUVWXY ZABCDEFABC
gi_2 JKLMNOPQRS TUVWXYZABC DEFGHIJKLM NOPQRSTUVW XYZABCDEFG HIJKLMNOPQ
gi_3 PQRSTUVWXY ZABCDEFGHI JKLMNOPQRS TUVWXYZABC DEFGHIJKLM NPQRSTUVWX
gi_4 CDEFGHIJKL MNOPQRSTUV WXYZABCDEF GHIJKLMNOP QRSTUVWXYZ ABCDEFGHIJ
gi_5 IJKLMNOPQR STUVWXYZAB CDEFGHIJKLM NOPQRSTUVW XYZABCDEFG HIJKLMNOPQ

And also note that like one have one time color part(5 lines) we have more than 4 -5 time color part so as to join them respectively.

Thanks


thanks

was not something similar answered here?

Dear vgersh,
nawk -f ag.awk myInputFile

ag.awk:
Code:

BEGIN {
RS=""
}
{
for(i=1; i<=NF; i++)
a[i] = (i in a) ? a[i] OFS $i : $i
}
END {
for(i=1; i in a; i++)
print a[i]
}

Yah exactly it is but i couldn't getdesired results as the result shown below using ur code (ag.awk)
gi_1 FGHIJKLMNO
ABCDEFDHIJ PQRSTUVWXY
KMNOPQRSTU ZABCDEFABC
VWXYZABCDE NOPQRSTUVW
gi_2 XYZABCDEFG
JKLMNOPQRS HIJKLMNOPQ
TUVWXYZABC TUVWXYZABC
DEFGHIJKLM DEFGHIJKLM
gi_3 NPQRSTUVWX
PQRSTUVWXY GHIJKLMNOP
ZABCDEFGHI QRSTUVWXYZ
JKLMNOPQRS ABCDEFGHIJ
gi_4 NOPQRSTUVW
CDEFGHIJKL XYZABCDEFG
MNOPQRSTUV HIJKLMNOPQ
WXYZABCDEF
gi_5
IJKLMNOPQR
STUVWXYZAB
CDEFGHIJKLM

Thanks

Firstly, pls do use vB Codes when either quoting others and/or posting code - it does make it easier to read the thread and you actually will imrove the chances of somebody actually willing to help you out.

Secondly, change:

Code:

RS=""

TO

Code:

RS=FS=""

Good luck!

thanks for the instructions actually may be u not have understood the quesion and wht output shud i will like to have may be i will again simplify the example...

input

thanks

Given your 'simplified' sample input above, this is what I get with the script:

Code:

gi_1 ABCDEFDHIJ KMNOPQRSTU VWXYZABCDE FGHIJKLMNO PQRSTUVWXY ZABCDEFABC
gi_2 JKLMNOPQRS TUVWXYZABC DEFGHIJKLM NOPQRSTUVW XYZABCDEFG HIJKLMNOPQ
gi_3 PQRSTUVWXY ZABCDEFGHI JKLMNOPQRS TUVWXYZABC DEFGHIJKLM NPQRSTUVWX
gi_4 CDEFGHIJKL MNOPQRSTUV WXYZABCDEF GHIJKLMNOP QRSTUVWXYZ ABCDEFGHIJ
gi_5 IJKLMNOPQR STUVWXYZAB CDEFGHIJKLM NOPQRSTUVW XYZABCDEFG HIJKLMNOPQ

If you're not seeing the same results, try changing:

Code:

RS=""

TO

Code:

FS=RS
RS=""

Your awk might be different from mine.........

No .....the awk is same for both of us
only this code
FS=RS
RS="" work wonderfully
Thanks...
