Shell Programming and Scripting

hi penchal

i think the command awk '$5==255 {print $0}' filename will be good....
i tried and got the output. i couldnt understand the || $5==106 || $5==107 || $5==108 that u have used in ur response.
anyway thanks ...can i get ur mail id so that i can mail u in case of some other requirement...

Hi

In the first thread, u wrote your requirement as

i need to grep for all the records having column nos 106,107,108 as 255

Thats why i included all those conditions.

Thanks

hi,

Thanks for the info.
Now my need is to grep for that pattern in a folder containing many such files.

say for example am having a folder named aemu. under this folder there are so many files (similar to the one i have given already)
i want to grep for 255(in the earlier case) in all the files under that folder

will awk '$5=255 {print $0}' foldername work?

Code:

goto aemu folder and run following command

ls | xargs awk '$5==255 {print $0}'

Hi,

for awk you can give multiple files as input

If in folder directory, u are having all your files.

step into folder directory , give the following command.

awk '$5==255 {print $0}' *

or u can stay in parent dirctory of folder and give the command.

awk '$5==255 {print $0}' folder/*

Thanks
Penchal
