Hi,

Just one more query on this...

How can I get the name of the file, eg file.txt appended to the beginning of every line too? eg to get:

file.txt,HELLO,SIMPLE=HELLO
file.txt,HELLO,CONFIDENTIAL=false
file.txt,HELLO,SENDER=false

etc

thanks!

Code:
awk -F= '$1 ~ /SIMPLE/ {a=$2; print FILENAME,a,$0; next} {print FILENAME,a,$0}' OFS=, file.txt
file.txt,HELLO,SIMPLE=HELLO
file.txt,HELLO,CONFIDENTIAL=false
file.txt,HELLO,SENDER=false
file.txt,HELLO,REQUIRED=true
file.txt,HELLO,FEEDBACK=false
file.txt,HELLO,UPDATE=false
file.txt,HELLO,REQUIRED=false
file.txt,HELLO,MAPPING=true
file.txt,HELLO2,SIMPLE=HELLO2
