I have two files - FileA and FileB. FileA has 10 fields with 100 lines. If Field1 and Field2 match, Field3 should be changed. FileB has 3 fields. I am reading in FileB with a while loop to match the two fields and to get the value that should be use for field 3.
while IFS=$'\t' read hostname interface metric; do
awk -v var1=${hostname} -v var2=${interface} -v var3=${metric} '{if ($1 ~ var1 && $2 ~ var2) $3=var3; print $0}' OFS="\t" FileA.txt
done < FileB.txt
At each line iteration, this prints FileB.txt with the single line that changed. I only want it to print the line that was changed.
Please Help!
It's a smell to be calling awk once for each line of file B. You should be able to accomplish this task with a single pass through each file.
Try something like this:
awk -F'\t' -v OFS='\t' '
# first, read in data from file B
NR == FNR { values[$1 FS $2] = $3; next }
# then, output modified lines from matching lines in file A
($1 FS $2) in values { $3 = values[$1 FS $2]; print }
' fileB fileA
I'm assuming that you actually want to match with string equality instead of ~ pattern matching.
I only want it to print the line that was changed.
Simply put your print $0 statement to if clause body:
'{if ($1 ~ var1 && $2 ~ var2) { $3=var3; print $0 }}'
or even shorter:
'$1~var1 && $2~var2{ $3=var3; print $0 }'

I want to compare first 2 characters of col1 of file1 with col1 of file2 if col3 of file1 is same as col3 of file2 , provided col4 in file2 equals to TRUE. I tried something :-
awk -F'|' 'BEGIN{OFS=FS};(NR==FNR)
{a[substr($1,1,2),$3]=$1;next}(($1,$3)in a) && $4==TRUE ' file1 file2 > outfield
file 1
AE1267453617238|BIDKFXXXX|United Arab Emirates|
PL76UTYVJDYGHU9|ABSFXXJBW|Poland|
GB76UTRTSCLSKJ|FVDGXXXUY|Russia|
file 2
AE|^AE[0-9]{2}[0-9]{24}|United Arab Emirates|TRUE|
PL|^PL[0-9]{2}[A-Z]{10}[0-9]{4}|Poland|FALSE|
GB|^GB[0-9]{2}[A-Z]{5}[0-9]{3}|Europe|TRUE
expected output :-
AE1267453617238|BIDKFXXXX|United Arab Emirates|
You could just simply cascade the multiple conditions with a && as below. Remember your expected output is on the first file, so you need to process the second file first
awk -F'|' ' FNR == NR {
if ( $4 == "TRUE" ) m[$1] = $3 ; next }{ k = substr($1,1,2) } k in m && m[k] == $3' file2 file1
The part m[$1] = $3 creates a hash-map of the $1 with the value of $3 in the second file, which is then used in the first file to compare against only the first two characters of $1 i.e. substr($1,1,2). To avoid redundant use of substr(..), the value is extracted into a variable k and reused subsequently.
If the matches must be on the same line number in each file:
awk -F \| '
FNR==NR && $4 == "TRUE" {a[NR,1]=$1; a[NR,3]=$3}
FNR!=NR && $3 == a[FNR,3] &&
$1 ~ "^"a[FNR,1]' file2 file1
If the matches can be on any line (every line of file1 is checked against every line of file2, duplicate matches aren't printed):
awk -F \| '
FNR==NR {++l}
FNR==NR && $4 == "TRUE" {a[NR,1]=$1; a[NR,3]=$3}
FNR!=NR {
for (i=1; i<=l; ++i) {
if ($3 == a[i,3] && $1 ~ "^"a[i,1])
c[$0]==0
}
}
END {
for (i in c)
print i
}' file2 file1
Note the order files are given. file2 (which contains TRUE and FALSE), goes first. I also used regex instead of substr, so the characters should be alphanumeric only, if not, go back to substr.
Regarding your code:
awk -F'|' 'BEGIN{OFS=FS};(NR==FNR)
{a[substr($1,1,2),$3]=$1;next}(($1,$3)in a) && $4==TRUE ' file1 file2 > outfield
newlines matter to awk. This:
NR==FNR
{ print }
is not the same as this:
NR==FNR { print }
The first one is actually the same as:
NR==FNR { print }
1 { print }
Also when you want to output the contents of a file (file1 in your case) it's usually better to read the OTHER file into memory and then compare the values from the target file against that so you can just print it as you go. So you should be doing awk 'script' file2 file1, not awk 'script' file1 file2, and writing a script based on that.
Try this:
$ cat tst.awk
BEGIN { FS="|" }
NR==FNR {
if ( $4 == "TRUE" ) {
map[$1] = $3
}
next
}
{ key = substr($1,1,2) }
(key in map) && (map[key] == $3)
$ awk -f tst.awk file2 file1
AE1267453617238|BIDKFXXXX|United Arab Emirates|
awk -F\| '
NR==FNR{
a[$3,1]=$1;
a[$3,4]=$4;
next
}
substr($1,1,2) == a[$3,1] && a[$3,4] == "TRUE" { print }
' file2.txt file1.txt
AE1267453617238|BIDKFXXXX|United Arab Emirates|
I need to merge all the lines that have the same value on the first column.
The input file is the following:
34600000031|(1|1|0|1|1|20190114180000|20191027185959)
34600000031|(2|2|0|2|2|20190114180000|20191027185959)

34600000015|(4|4|100|4|11|20190114180000|20191027185959)
I was able to partially achieve it using the following:
awk -F'|' '$1!=p{if(p)print s; p=$1; s=$0; next}{sub(p,x); s=s $0} END{print s}' INPUT
The output is the following:
34600000031|(1|1|0|1|1|20190114180000|20191027185959)|(2|2|0|2|2|20190114180000|20191027185959)|(3|3|0|3|3|20190114180000|20191027185959)|(4|4|0|4|4|20190114180000|20191027185959)

What I need (and i cannot find how) is the following:
34600000031|(1|1|0|1|1|20190114180000|20191027185959)(2|2|0|2|2|20190114180000|20191027185959)(3|3|0|3|3|20190114180000|20191027185959)(4|4|0|4|4|20190114180000|20191027185959)
34600000015|(1|1|100|1|8|20190114180000|20191027185959)(2|2|100|2|9|20190114180000|20191027185959)(3|3|100|3|10|20190114180000|20191027185959)(4|4|100|4|11|20190114180000|20191027185959)
I could do a sed after the initial awk but I don't believe that this is the proper way to do it.
You need to substitute the separator in the values too. Your fixes awk would look like this:
awk -F'|' '$1!=p{if(p)print s; p=$1; s=$0; next}{sub(p "\\|",x); s=s $0} END{print s}'
but it's also good to match beginning of the string:
awk -F'|' '$1!=p{if(p)print s; p=$1; s=$0; next}{sub("^" p "\\|",x); s=s $0} END{print s}'
I would do it somewhat simpler, which uses more memory (as it stores everything in an array) but doesn't need the file to be sorted:
awk -F'|' '{ k=$1; sub("^" $1 "\\|", ""); a[k] = a[k] $0 } END{ for (i in a) print i "|" a[i] }'
For each line, remember the first field, substitute the first field with | for nothing, then add it to an array indexed by the first field. On the end, print each element in the array with the key, separator and value.
$ awk -F'|' '
{
curr = $1
sub(/^[^|]+\|/,"")
printf "%s%s", (curr==prev ? "" : ors curr FS), $0
ors = ORS
prev = curr
}
END { print "" }
' file
34600000031|(1|1|0|1|1|20190114180000|20191027185959)(2|2|0|2|2|20190114180000|20191027185959)(3|3|0|3|3|20190114180000|20191027185959)(4|4|0|4|4|20190114180000|20191027185959)

I want to compare two files delimited with
;
with the same field1,
output field2 of file1 and field2 field1 of file2.
File1:
16003-Z/VG043;204352
16003/C3;100947
16003/C3;172973
16003/PAB4L;62245
16003;100530
16003;101691
16003;144786
File2:
16003-Z/VG043;568E;0540575;2.59
16003/C3;568E;0000340;2.53

My try:
awk -F\, '{FS=";"} NR==FNR {a[$1]; next} ($1) in a{ print a[$2]";"$2";"$3}' File1 File2 > Output
The above is not working probably because awk is still obscure to me.
The problem is what is driving the output? what $1, $2, etc are referred to what?
The a[$2] in my intention is the field2 of file 1....but it is not...
What I get is:
;204352;16003-Z/VG043
;100947;16003/C3
;172973;16003/C3
;62245;16003/PAB4L

thanks for helping
This might be what you are after:
awk -F";" '(NR==FNR) { a[$1] = ($1 in a ? a[$1] FS : "") $2; next }
($1 in a) { split(a[$1],b); for(i in b) print b[i] FS $2 FS $1 }' file1 file2
This outputs:
204352;568E;16003-Z/VG043
100947;568E;16003/C3
172973;568E;16003/C3
62245;568H;16003/PAB4L
100530;568E;16003
101691;568E;16003
144786;568E;16003
This approach reads a file file_1.txt by first into an associative array table. (This is done to associate ids / values across files.) Then, looping over the 2nd file file_2.txt, I print the values in table that match the id field of this file along with the current value:
BEGIN {
FS=OFS=";"
while (getline < first)
table[$1] = $2 FS table[$1]
}
$1 in table {
len = split(table[$1], parts)
for (i=1; i<len; i++)
print parts[i], $2, $1
}
$ awk -v first=file_1.txt -f script.awk file_2.txt
204352;568E;16003-Z/VG043
172973;568E;16003/C3
100947;568E;16003/C3
62245;568H;16003/PAB4L

I am learning AWK and was trying some exercises on built-in string functions.
Here's my exercise:
I have a file containing as below
RecordType:83
1,2,3,a|x|y|z,4,5
And my desired output is as below:
RecordType:83
1,2,3,a,4,5
1,0,0,x,4,5
1,0,0,y,4,5
1,0,0,z,4,5
I wrote an awk command for the above output.
awk -F',' '$1 ~ /RecordType:83/{print $0}
$1 == 1{
split($4,splt,"|")
for(i in splt)
{
if(i==1)
print $1,$2,$3,splt[i],$5,$6
else
print $1,0,0,splt[i],$5,$6
}
}' OFS=, file_name
The above command looks so clumsy. Is there any way minimizing the command?
Thanks in advance
The shortest possible one-liner I could manage:
awk -F, 'NR>1{n=split($4,a,"|");for(;i++<n;){$4=a[i];print;$2=$3=0}}NR==1' OFS=, file
RecordType:83
1,2,3,a,4,5
1,0,0,x,4,5
1,0,0,y,4,5
1,0,0,z,4,5
The much more readable script (recommended):
BEGIN {
FS=OFS="," # Comma delimiter
}
NR==1 { # If the first line in file
print $0 # Print the whole line
next # Skip to next line
}
{
n=split($4,a,"|") # Split field four on |
for(i=1;i<=n;i++) # For each sub-field
print $1,i==1?$2OFS$3:"0"OFS"0",a[i],$5,$6 # Print the output
}
another shorter one-liner
awk -F, -v OFS="," 'NR>1{n=split($4,a,"|");while(++i<=n){$4=a[i];print;$2=$3=0}}NR==1' file
with your example:
kent$ awk -F, -v OFS="," 'NR>1{n=split($4,a,"|");while(++i<=n){$4=a[i];print;$2=$3=0}}NR==1' file
RecordType:83
1,2,3,a,4,5
1,0,0,x,4,5
1,0,0,y,4,5
1,0,0,z,4,5
A very simple question, which a found no answer to. How do I print out a specific field in awk?
awk '/word1/', will print out the whole sentence, when I need just a word1. Or I need a chain of patterns (word1 + word2) to be printed out only from a text.
Well if the pattern is a single word (which you want to print and can't contaion FS (input field separator)) why not:
awk -v MYPATTERN="INSERT_YOUR_PATTERN" '$0 ~ MYPATTERN { print MYPATTERN }' INPUTFILE
If your pattern is a regex:
awk -v MYPATTERN="INSERT_YOUR_PATTERN" '$0 ~ MYPATTERN { print gensub(".*(" MYPATTERN ").*","\\1","1",$0) }' INPUTFILE
If your pattern must be checked in every single field:
awk -v MYPATTERN="INSERT_YOUR_PATTERN" '$0 ~ MYPATTERN {
for (i=1;i<=NF;i++) {
if ($i ~ MYPATTERN) { print "Field " i " in " NR " row matches: " MYPATTERN }
}
}' INPUTFILE
Modify any of the above to your taste.
The fields in awk are represented by $1, $2, etc:
$ echo this is a string | awk '{ print $2 }'
is
$0 is the whole line, $1 is the first field, $2 is the next field ( or blank ),
$NF is the last field, $( NF - 1 ) is the 2nd to last field, etc.
EDIT (in response to comment).
You could try:
awk '/crazy/{ print substr( $0, match( $0, "crazy" ), RLENGTH )}'
i know you can do this with awk :
an alternative would be :
sed -nr "s/.*(PATTERN_TO_MATCH).*/\1/p" file
or you can use grep -o
Something like this perhaps:
awk '{split("bla1 bla2 bla3",a," "); print a[1], a[2], a[3]}'
