UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hello all,

I need some help and education creating a script.

Basically I have a file with a list of numbers..

Code:

2125554444
2124445555

I need to put them into a format that looks like this....

Code:

UQ-V8.1,2125554444,hdaudio
UQ-V8.1,2124445555,hdaudio

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please use code tags next time for your code and data. Thanks

What have you tried so far?

Where is the additional data coming from? Is it just 2 fixed strings?

Hi Jay11789,

Following may help, also please use code tags while posting code and commands.

Code:

awk -vvar1="UQ-V8.1" -vvar2="hdaudio" '{print var1 OFS $0 OFS var2}' OFS="," Input_file

Output will be as follows.

Code:

UQ-V8.1,2125554444,hdaudio
UQ-V8.1,2124445555,hdaudio

EDIT: Sorry CarloM, seems I was replying when you have asked the question.


Thanks,
R. Singh

sed 's/.*/UQ-V8.1,&,hdaudio/' inputfile

and the output had spaces....

UQ-V8.1 ,2124445555, hdaudio

Ok, thanks all! I got that going now thanks to your help. However, I have another question..

In this list, I come across a number of lines that I would like to remove. For example,

Code:

UQ-V8.1,2124446666,hdaudio
          UQ-V8.1,2124446667,hdaudio

I have tried doing this....

Code:

grep -v 2124446666

however, Im not having much luck.

Any suggestions?

Guys please respect if someone is asking question on forum about the attempts made towards the thread, here we'll expect thread poster to show us that what actually he/she made an attempt to solve his/her own problem with what he/she learned by following these forums for several years.

It looks to me like some people treating this site as a free programming department. That is not why we volunteer our time here; we want to help them to learn how to write their own code. When they run into problems, we're happy to help them to learn how to get around them.

My apologies, I did post my attempt info, just after my original post.
