Hi All.
I have a file that contains some special characters and I'm trying to use AWK to search for lines between <pattern1> and <pattern2>.
As an example:
I need the lines between the line containing ' select_id="x_0 ' and the line containing the next instance of ' from '.
I have the following data in a text file.
Code:
"A",1,"MyTextfile.CSV","200","This is ,line one"
"B","EFG",23,"MyTextfile1.csv","5621",562,"This is ,line two"
I want to extract the fileNames MyTextfile.CSV and MyTextfile1.csv.
The problem is not all the lines are delimited with ","

Hi All,
I am creating a text file using perl. The first record I am writing as "$line" and all the other as "\n$line". At the end the file is having N number of lines.
I've been a Unix admin for nearly 30 years and never learned AWK. I've seen several similar posts here, but haven't been able to adapt the answers to my situation. AWK is so damn cryptic! ;)
I have a single file with ~900 lines (CSV list). Each line starts with an ID, but with different stuff after it which I want to merge onto a single line.
if i do the following:
Code:
echo "hello, mr. sunshine" > /tmp/text.txt

now, instead of writing "hello, mr.
Hello, I have a situation where I want to change a line of text in multiple files, but the problem is that I want to change the text to something unique for each file.
For example, let's say I have five files named bob.txt, joe.txt, john.txt, tom.txt, and zach.txt. Each of these files has a line (1st line) with the text "name = xxx".
Hello,
I have a csv file with "^" as text delimiters and "|" as field delimiters. It's converted from a xls file. One record looks like this:

...| ...
(more lines)

I am trying to write a Perl script that can open a file, find text that appears between two identifying strings (for now, "start" and "end"), then modify that text by enclosing it between "term_" and "_term" . Since the identified strings vary, the replacement string becomes "term_$1_term".
Hi, consider a file which has data such as
Code:
"random text",912345,"54","finish"
"random text",9991236745,"9954","finish"
I want to replace the numbers that don't have double quotes around them with ones that do; so the output should be
Code:
"random text","912345","54","finish"
