Print rows into columns
Hi,

I required to print all rows into columns(some comma separated or else) till a pattern match found. Using Solaris UNIX scripting

my input is like
Code:
abc
def
ghi
jkl
mno
END
pqr
stu
vwx
yz
123
END
...
...
..And so on

And required output should be:
Code:
abc;def;ghi;jkl;mno;
pqr;stu;vwx;yz;123;
............................
............................
Same for rest file

Means "END" is present in file after each 5 rows, and want to convert data into 5 columns with ";" as delimiter.

Pls help.

BR\\
VIKASH

Try:
Code:
awk '{ORS=/END/?"\n":";";gsub(/END/,""); }1' file

I tried:
Code:
awk '{ORS=/END/?"\n":";";gsub(/END/,""); }1' input_file

Error:
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: illegal statement near line 1
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: illegal statement near line 1
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1

Tried:
Code:
nawk '!/END/&&ORS=++c%5?OFS:OFS RS' OFS=\; input_file

Error:
/END/: Event not found.


Tried:
Code:
awk '/END/{print;next}NF{printf("%s ",$0)}' input_file| sed 's/ /;/g' | sed 's/END//g'

Error:
CORRECT>awk '/END/{print;next}NF{printf("%s ",$0)}' input_file | sed 't/././g' | sed 's/END//g' (y|n|e|a)? yes
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1
Undefined label: /././g


Then also
Tried:
Code:
cat input_file | tr '\n' ';' |sed 's/END;/\n/g'

No output has came. I also tried with this same tr
like
Code:
cat input_file | tr "\n" ";" | tr ";END;" "\n"

But it gives no out put, my file has around 6000 rows may be this tr is not working as due to some limitations of limit in a row charaters.

Thanks all of you for your help, Pls suggest some other options.

You should use nawk or /usr/xpg4/bin/awk on Solaris.
Do not use /usr/bin/awk a.k.a. oawk on Solaris!

Why (t)csh ...
Try to escape the !:

Code:
nawk '\!/END/&&ORS=++c%5?OFS:OFS RS' OFS=\; input_file
