Expand string using nawk

Hi,

I have a issue, I need to loop through a comma delimited file and check for the length which exceeds specified length , if Yes truncate the string. But my problem is , I do not have to check for all the fields and the field lenght is not same for all the fields.

For ex:

Say my line ahjdh,dfhkajhdf,adhklf,eiour

say I need to check length only for 2nd and 4th and max length for 2nd is 6

My goal is deceptively simple (at least to me).

i have 3 files as below:

Code: [test1][test2][test3]

i want to print 1st,2nd,5th and 10th filed of 1st to 5th lines from each files into a line of an output file, so the result would be: [output]:

Code: {line1}(field 1 of line 1 from file 1)(field 2 of line 1 from file 1)(field 5 of line 1 from file 1)(field 10 of line 1 from file 1)...(field 10 of line 5 from file 1) {line2}(field 1

I need help to extract coincidences from a file.

I capture network traffic with tcpdump command

tcpdump -Xvv -i eth0 > captureFile.txt

Given any field of IP headers, TCP and Ethernet specify all values ​​found in the captured traffic and count how many times that value for that field.

I want to make a script to read row by row and find its length. If the length is less than my required length then i hav to append spaces to that paritucular row.

Hi,

Is there any short method to print from a particular field till another filed using awk?

Example File:

Code: File1 ==== 1|2|acv|vbc|......|100|342 2|3|afg|nhj|.......|100|346 Expected output: [code] File2 ==== acv|vbc|.....|100 afg|nhj|.....|100 [code]

In the above example, let say I have 101 fields, I have print line only from 3 field to 100 field.

Is Code: awk '{print $3FS

Hi,

I have a file of the following format:

Code: AV 103 AV 104 AV 105 AV 308 AV 517 BN 210 BN 211 BN 212 BN 218 and the desired output is :

Code: AV 103-105 3 AV 308 1 AV 517 1 BN 210-212 3 BN 218 1 In the output file the first field is the string only.

I am trying to trim spaces for the fixed width file starting from location 129 and of length 20.

I am expecting only around 40 records that will have length greater than 9. But i am getting around 4000 records.

Please help me correct the following.

Code: nawk '{if (a=length(gsub(/ */,"",substr($0,129,20)))>9); print $a }' testfile |wc -l

Dear Friends,

I have file a.txt

Code: 1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8 a|b|c|d|e|f|g|h i am using the below code to swap the fields in file

Code: awk -F\| '{print $5,$1,$2,$3,$4,$6,$7,$8}' OFS=\| a.txt > output.txt output.txt

Code: 5|1|2|3|4|6|7|8 e|a|b|c|d|f|g|h The above command is working fine.
