All,


Below is the file, what i need to do is take the text in between the /*-- and --*/ , i mean the jobs. Then i have grep for system name . If the job is there in system 1 i have to print to a file.

Basically i want to take all the jobs that are in system1 to another file . because the below file autosys_file will jobs in all system i want extract the jobs that are in system1.

Please help this is urgent request ...

FILE ---------autosys_file-----

/* ----------------- test_syssystem_job ----------------- */

insert_job: test_syssytem2_job job_type: c
command: /bin/echo "AUTOSYS install test on system2 10/10/99"
machine: system2
#owner: autosys@system2
permission: gx,ge,wx,we
std_out_file: /tmp/dd.out
std_err_file: /tmp/ddd.err
alarm_if_fail: 1


/* ----------------- test_syssystem3_job ----------------- */

what have you tried?

I have tried to do it AWK, but no use, i am not expert in AWK. I planned to write a script to read the line inbetween the /* and /* and then write to a file and grep the system anme in the file and write another file. But i think this is complicated

nobody is an expert in everything at first. what really matters is whether one wants to make effort in learning. Have you read the Awk manual since 2004??( It doen't take a month to finish the whole document.) you are already not a newbie and in your previous posts you are exposed to shell scripting (since 2004??) so i would expect you to produce something, even if its not working , show how its not working...or errors you are getting...

Thank you , I need to produce this as fast as i can . I can do the scripting parallely. If any of you guys have idea or the script please pass it to me.

this is the awk script , that will take the line between /* and /* , This is working with one entries, if it is a muliple entry i an struct with the loop to get all the line


#!/bin/ksh
awk '\
//*/,//*/ {
if (match($0,"/*"))
print substr($0,index($0,"/*"))
else
if (match($0,"/*"))
print substr($0,1,index($0,"/*")-1)
else
print
}' test_out

what is the expected output you want to see from the sample you gave? i don't see system 1 anywhere.

This is the part of the script to get the line inbetween /* and /*, i will redirect that to test out file , and i need to greo system,

Can you tell me how to loop the /* line in files
