awk nesting curling brackets - awk

Question

I have the following awk script where I seem to need to next curly brackets. But this is not allowed in awk. How can I fix this issue in my script here?
The problem is in the if(inqueued == 1).
BEGIN {
print "Log File Analysis Sequencing for " + FILENAME;
inqueued=0;
connidtext="";
thisdntext="";
}
/message EventQueued/ {
inqueued=1;
print $0;
}
if(inqueued == 1) {
/AttributeConnID/ { connidtext = $0; }
/AttributeThisDN / { thisdntext = $2; } #space removes DNRole
}
#if first chars are a timetamp we know we are out of queued text
/\#?[0-9]+:[0-9}+:[0-9]+/
{
if(thisdntext != 0) {
print connidtext;
print thisdntext;
}
inqueued = 0; connidtext=""; thisdntext="";
}

Answer 1

try to change
if(inqueued == 1) {
/AttributeConnID/ { connidtext = $0; }
/AttributeThisDN / { thisdntext = $2; } #space removes DNRole
}
to
inqueued == 1 {
if($0~ /AttributeConnID/) { connidtext = $0; }
if($0~/AttributeThisDN /) { thisdntext = $2; } #space removes DNRole
}
or
inqueued == 1 && /AttributeConnID/{connidtext = $0;}
inqueued == 1 && /AttributeThisDN /{ thisdntext = $2; } #space removes DNRole

awk is made up of <condition> { <action> } segments. Within an <action> you can specify conditions just like you do in C with if or while constructs. You have a few other problems too, just re-write your script as:
BEGIN {
print "Log File Analysis Sequencing for", FILENAME
}
/message EventQueued/ {
inqueued=1
print
}
inqueued == 1 {
if (/AttributeConnID/) { connidtext = $0 }
if (/AttributeThisDN/) { thisdntext = $2 } #space removes DNRole
}
#if first chars are a timetamp we know we are out of queued text
/\#?[0-9]+:[0-9}+:[0-9]+/ {
if (thisdntext != 0) {
print connidtext
print thisdntext
}
inqueued=connidtext=thisdntext=""
}
I don't know if that'll do what you want or not, but it's syntactically correct at least.
