I'm using the following awk command in an expect script to get the gateway for a particular destination
route | grep $dest | awk '{print $2}'
However the expect script does not like the $2 in the above statement.
Does anyone know of an alternative to awk to perform the same function as above? ie. output 2nd column.
You can use cut:
route | grep $dest | cut -d \ -f 2
That uses spaces as the field delimiter and pulls out the second field
To answer your Expect question, single quotes have no special meaning to the Tcl parser. You need to use braces to protect the body of the awk script:
route | grep $dest | awk {{print $2}}
And as awk can do what grep does, you can get away with one less process:
route | awk -v d=$dest {$0 ~ d {print $2}}
Before switching to another utility, check if changing field separator worrks. Documentation for field separators in GNU Awk here.
SED is the best alternative to use. If you don't mind a dependency, Perl should also be sufficient to solve the task
Depending on the structure of your data, you can use either cut, or use sed to do both filtering and printing the second column.
Alternatively, you could use Perl:
perl -ne 'if(/foo/) { #_ = split(/:/); print $_[1]; }'
This will print second token of each line containing foo, with : as token separator.

I have got the following URL:
https://xcg5847#git.rz.bankenit.de/scm/smat/sma-mes-test.git
I need to pull out smat-mes-test and smat:
git config --local remote.origin.url|sed -n 's#.*/\([^.]*\)\.git#\1#p'
sma-mes-test
This works. But I also need the project name, which is smat
I am not really familiar to complex regex and sed, I was able to find the other command in another post here. Does anyone know how I am able to extract the smat value here?
With your shown samples please try following awk code. Simple explanation would be, setting field separator(s) as / and .git for all the lines and in main program printing 3rd last and 3nd last elements from the line.
your_git_command | awk -F'/|\\.git' '{print $(NF-2),$(NF-1)}'
Your sed is pretty close. You can just extend it to capture 2 values and print them:
git config --local remote.origin.url |
sed -E 's~.*/([^/]+)/([^.]+)\.git$~\1 \2~'
smat sma-mes-test
If you want to populate shell variable using these 2 values then use this read command in bash:
read v1 v2 < <(git config --local remote.origin.url |
sed -E 's~.*/([^/]+)/([^.]+)\.git$~\1 \2~')
# check variable values
declare -p v1 v2
declare -- v1="smat"
declare -- v2="sma-mes-test"
Using sed
$ sed -E 's#.*/([^/]*)/#\1 #' input_file
smat sma-mes-test.git
I would harness GNU AWK for this task following way, let file.txt content be
https://xcg5847#git.rz.bankenit.de/scm/smat/sma-mes-test.git
then
awk 'BEGIN{FS="/"}{sub(/\.git$/,"",$NF);print $(NF-1),$NF}' file.txt
gives output
smat sma-mes-test
Explanation: I instruct GNU AWK that field separator is slash character, then I replace .git (observe that . is escaped to mean literal dot) adjacent to end ($) in last field ($NF), then I print 2nd from end field ($(NF-1)) and last field ($NF), which are sheared by space, which is default output field separator, if you wish to use other character for that purpose set OFS (output field separator) in BEGIN. If you want to know more about NF then read 8 Powerful Awk Built-in Variables – FS, OFS, RS, ORS, NR, NF, FILENAME, FNR
(tested in gawk 4.2.1)
Why not sed 's!.*/\(.*/.*\)!\1!'?
string=$(config --local remote.origin.url | tail -c -21)
var1=$(echo "${string}" | cut -d'/' -f1)
var2=$(echo "${string}" | cut -d'/' -f2 | sed s'#\.git##')
If you have multiple urls with variable lengths, this will not work, but if you only have the one, it will.
var1=smat
var2=sma-mes-test.git
If I did have something variable, personally I would replace all of the forward slashes with carriage returns, throw them into a file, and then export the last and second last lines with ed, which would give me the two last segments of the url.
Regular expressions literally give me a migraine headache, but as long as I can get everything on its' own line, I can quite easily bypass the need for them entirely.
cat file1.txt | awk -F '{print $1 "|~|" $2 "|~|" $3}' > file2.txt
I am using above command to filter first three columns from file1 and put into file.
But only getting the column names and not the column data.
How to do that?
|~| - is the delimiter.
file1.txt has values as :
a|~|b|~|c|~|d|~|e
1|~|2|~|3|~|4|~|5
11|~|22|~|33|~|44|~|55
111|~|222|~|333|~|444|~|555
my expedted output is :
a|~|b|~|c
1|~|2|~|3
11|~|22|~|33
111|~|222|~|333
With your shown samples, please try following awk code. You need to set field separator to |~| and remove starting space from lines, then print the lines.
awk -F'\\|~\\|' -v OFS='|~|' '{sub(/^[[:blank:]]+/,"");print $1,$2,$3}' Input_file
In case you want to keep spaces(which was in initial post before edit) then try following:
awk -F'\\|~\\|' -v OFS='|~|' '{print $1,$2,$3}' Input_file
NOTE: Had a chat with user in room and got to know why this code was not working for user because of gunzip -c file was being used wrongly, its output was being saved into a variable on which user was running awk program, so correcting that command generated right file and awk program ran fine on it. Adding this as a reference for future readers.
One approach would be:
awk -v FS="," -v OFS="|~|" '{gsub(/[|][~][|]/,","); sub(/^\s*/,""); print $1,$2,$3}' file1.txt
The approach simply replaces all "|~|" with a "," setting the output file separator to "|~|". All leading whitespace is trimmed with sub().
Example Use/Output
With your data in file1.txt, you would have:
$ awk -v FS="," -v OFS="|~|" '{gsub(/[|][~][|]/,","); sub(/^\s*/,""); print $1,$2,$3}' file1.txt
a|~|b|~|c
1|~|2|~|3
11|~|22|~|33
111|~|222|~|333
Let me know if this is what you intended. You can simply redirect, e.g. > file2.txt to write to the second file.
For such cases, my bash+awk script rcut comes in handy:
rcut -Fd'|~|' -f-3 ip.txt
The -F option enables fixed string input delimiter (which is given using the -d option). And by default, the output field separator will also be same as -d when -F is active. -f-3 is similar to cut syntax to specify first three fields.
For better speed, use hck command:
hck -Ld'|~|' -D'|~|' -f-3 ip.txt
Here, -L enables literal field separator and -D specifies output field separator.
Another benefit is that hck supports -z option to automatically handle common compressed formats based on filename extension (adding this since OP had an issue with compressed input).
Another way:
sed 's/|~|/\t/g' file1.txt | awk '{print $1"|~|"$2"|~|"$3}' > file2.txt
First replace the |~| delimiter, and use the default awk separator, then print columns what you need.
We parse data of the following format -
35953539535393 BG |..|...|REF_DATA^1^Y^|...|...|
35953539535393 B |..|...|REF_DATA_IND^1^B^|...|...|
We need to print unique values of REF_DATA* appearing in the file using script.
So,the output of the above data would be :
REF_DATA^1^Y^
REF_DATA_IND^1^B^
How do we achieve this using grep ,sed or awk - using a one-liner script.
This might work for you (GNU sed & sort):
sed '/\n/!s/[^|]*REF_DATA[^|]*/\n&\n/;/^[^|]*REF_DATA/P;D' file | sort -u
Surround the intended strings by newlines, print only those strings on separate lines and sort those lines showing only unique values.
Could you please try following and let me know if this helps you.
awk 'match($0,/REF_DATA[^|]*/){val=substr($0,RSTART,RLENGTH);if(!array[val]++){print val}}' Input_file
Adding a non-one liner form of solution too now.
awk '
match($0,/REF_DATA[^|]*/){
val=substr($0,RSTART,RLENGTH);
if(!array[val]++){
print val
}
}' Input_file
Assuming you have GNU grep:
command_to_produce_data | grep -oP '(?<=[|])REF_DATA.+?(?=[|])' | sort -u
awk -F\| '{print $4}' file
REF_DATA^1^Y^
REF_DATA_IND^1^B^
Below i have found the value to change in the file.
value_to_change=$(grep "$mbean" "$instr_file_path" | awk -F= '{print $2}' | awk -v awk_index="$index" '{print $awk_index}')
I want to do a sed on that line to replace the specific value at the specific place. Note that this may be a 0, 1 whatever so ill need to know where it is in the line to do the find and replace in that area only.
How do i go about this?
$ awk -v term="$mbean" -v index="$index" \
'$0~term{split($0,r,"=");
split(r[2],fields);
print fields[index]}' file
obviously not tested...
However, I guess this wasn't really your question. Do you want to replace the value at that index? With what other value?
..And I know why:
I have a xml document with lots of information inside. I need to extract what I need and eventually print them on a new file.
The xml (well, part of it.. rows just keeps repeating)
<module classname="org.openas2.processor.receiver.AS2DirectoryPollingModule"
outboxdir="%home%/../../../home/samba/user/Outbound/toMartha/"
errordir="%home%/../../../home/samba/user/Outbound/toMartha/error"
sentdir="%home%/../../../home/samba/user/data/Sent/Martha"
interval="600"
defaults="sender.name=me_myself, receiver.name=Martha"
sendfilename="true"
mimetype="application/standard"/>
<module classname="org.openas2.processor.receiver.AS2DirectoryPollingModule"
outboxdir="%home%/../../../home/samba/user/Outbound/toJosh/"
errordir="%home%/../../../home/samba/user/Outbound/toJosh/error"
sentdir="%home%/../../../home/samba/user/data/Sent/Josh"
interval="600"
defaults="sender.name=me_myself, receiver.name=Josh"
sendfilename="true"
mimetype="application/standard"/>
<module classname="org.openas2.processor.receiver.AS2DirectoryPollingModule"
outboxdir="%home%/../../../home/samba/user/Outbound/toPamela/"
errordir="%home%/../../../home/samba/user/Outbound/toPamela/error"
interval="600"
defaults="sender.name=me_myself, receiver.name=Pamela"
sendfilename="true"
mimetype="application/standard"/>
I need to extract the folder after "Outbound" and clean it from quotes or slashes.
Also, I need to exclude the "/error" so I get only 1 result for each of them.
My command is:
grep -o -v "/error" "Outbound/" config.xml | awk -F"Outbound/" '{print $2}' | sed -e "s/\/\"//g" > /tmp/sync_users
The error is: grep: Outbound/: No such file or directory which of course means that I'm giving to grep too many arguments (?) - If i remove the -v "/error" it would work but would print also the names with "/error".
Can someone help me?
EDIT:
As some pointed out in their example (thanks for the time you put in), I'd need to extract these words based on the sample above:
toMartha
toJosh
toPamela
could be intersting to use sed in this case
sed -e '\#/Outbound/#!d' -e '\#/error"$#d' -e 's#.*/Outbound/##;s#/\{0,1\}"$##' Config.xml
awk version, assuming (for last print) that your line is always 1 folder below Outbound as shown
awk -F '/' '$0 !~ /\/Outbound\// || /\/error"$/ {next} {print $(NF-1)}' Config.xml
Loose the grep altogether:
$ awk '/outboxdir/{gsub(/^.+Outbound\/|\/" *\r?$/,""); print}' file
toMartha
toJosh
toPamela
/^outboxdir/ /outboxdir/only process records that have start with outboxdir on them
gsub remove unwanted parts of the record
added space removal at the end of record and CRLF fix for Windows originated files
To give grep multiples patterns they have to be separated by newlines or specified by multiples pattern option (-e, F,.. ). However -v invert the match as a whole, you can't invert only one.
For what you're after you can use PCRE (-P argument) for the lookaround ability:
grep -o -P '(?<=Outbound\/)[^\/]+(?!.*\/error)' config.xml
Regex demo here
The regex try to
match something not a slash at least once, the [^\/]+
preceded by Outbound/ the positive lookbehind (?<=Outbound\/)
and not followed by something ending with /error, the negative lookahead (?!.*\/error)
With your first sample input:
$ grep -o -P '(?<=Outbound\/)[^\/]+(?!.*\/error)' test.txt
toMartha
toJosh
toPamela
How about:
grep -i "outbound" your_file | awk -F"Outbound/" '{print $2}' | sed -e 's/error//' -e 's/\/\"//' | uniq
Should work :)
You can use match in gawkand capturing group in regex
awk 'match($0, /^.*\/Outbound\/([^\/]+)\/([^\/]*)\/?"$/, a){
if(a[2]!="error"){print a[1]}
}' config.xml
you get,
toMartha
toJosh
toPamela
grep can accept multiple patterns with the -e option (aka --regexp, even though it can be used with --fixed-strings too, go figure). However, -v (--invert-match) applies to all of the patterns as a group.
Another solution would be to chain two calls to grep:
grep -v "/error" config.xml | grep "Outbound/" | awk -F"Outbound/" '{print $2}' | sed -e "s/\/\"//g"
