hi...
this is giving me

Filename1 xx 10296 xxx Date:
Filename1 yy 10296 xxx Date:
Filename1 10296 xxx Date: 09/01/08
Filename2 xx Date:
Filename2 yy 10296 xxx Date:
Filename2 zz 10296 xxx Date:
Filename2 10296 xxx Date: 09/05/08
Filename3 xx 10296 xxx Date:
Filename3 10296 xxx Date: 09/08/08

I can use this..but the last code you gave me worked better..This is replacing the total line only with the date.
Ideally: the output will change date every total line.

Filename1 xx 10296 xxx Date: 09/01/08

Filename1 yy 10296 xxx Date: 09/01/08

Filename1 Total 10296 xxx Date: 09/01/08
Filename2 xx Date: 09/05/08
Filename2 yy 10296 xxx Date: 09/05/08
Filename2 Total 10296 xxx Date: 09/05/08
Filename2 10296 xxx Date: 09/05/08

If u can give me brief explaination of the code i can try modifying it for my needs. Again thank you so much for your time and help Smilie


I just wanted the date repeating in every line.

I'm not sure if you're talking about the code I posted or about manosubsulo's solution. Anyway, this is what I get given your sample data:

Code:
$ head file[12]
==> file1 <==
Filename1 xx
Filename1 yy
Filename1 Total
Filename2 xx
Filename2 yy
Filename2 zz
Filename2 Total
Filename3 xx
Filename3 Total 

==> file2 <==
Filename1 10296 xxx Date: 09/01/08
Filename2 10296 xxx Date: 09/05/08
Filename3 10296 xxx Date: 09/08/08
$ awk 'NR == FNR {
quote>   rec[$1] = $0
quote>   rest[$1] = $3 FS $4 FS $5
quote>   next
quote>   }
quote> $1 in rec && $0 = /Total/?rec[$1]:$0FS rest[$1]
quote> ' file2 file1
Filename1 xx xxx Date: 09/01/08
Filename1 yy xxx Date: 09/01/08
Filename1 10296 xxx Date: 09/01/08
Filename2 xx xxx Date: 09/05/08
Filename2 yy xxx Date: 09/05/08
Filename2 zz xxx Date: 09/05/08
Filename2 10296 xxx Date: 09/05/08
Filename3 xx xxx Date: 09/08/08
Filename3 10296 xxx Date: 09/08/08

If you get a different result, you should post sample from your real data so I can verify.

OK:

Code:
awk 'NR == FNR {
  rec[$1] = $2 FS $3 FS $4 FS $5
  rest[$1] = $3 FS $4 FS $5
  next
  }
$1 in rec && $0 = $0FS (/Total/?rec[$1]:rest[$1])
' file2 file1
