I am tying to read a file in with nawk whilst trying to take input from a pipe. I've come across the getline option and no matter how hard I try, I can't figure out the correct syntax. What I want to do is to take some input from the pipe and make a comparison with all of the values in a file and print a match.
Code:
Have this script which is reading in a series of files, one at a time with while-do-done loop, each file goes through various greps/awk's where this info is then saved to various files for later use. i.e....
Script is being run on Linux Red Hat,
In one of the grep/awk's the output (currently) are 2 columns (min max), i.e....| awk '{print $1, $2}' | sort -u which outputs (e.g.)
The number of "min max" pairs varies from file to file. Want to output a single column of unique numbers from the min max pairs & get the number of them for input to a file...i.e...
Where <PROCESS> is some process/technique that will generate a single column of integers (increment of 1) to pipe into the next one (sort -u)
i.e. (example from above)
Have tried command seq - only works for single pair input i.e.
Is there any command like seq etc which will output a single column based on a input of min max numbers (increment 1) to pipe onwards to next command?
I'm storing a list of strings in a file and would like to read the file and pipe each line returned to grep which in turn searches a directory for files containing the string.However this is not returning any output.

I'm doing ping between 2 RH servers through a VPN site2site tunnel and in some times I got in the result pipe 2 and another pipe 3 as I mark it in blue color below.
e.g.

64 bytes from 192.168.1.10: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=0.287 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.10: icmp_seq=2 ttl=128 time=0.278 ms

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am struggling to understand why nawk matches values that are either 1 or 2 digits in length, but not 100 (3 digits).
Am I missing something obvious ? Should I use substr to remove the % ?
I am sure it's something to do with character and string matching behaviour with nawk.

Everything I read on the Net assume this command prints the current layout, and so far I haven't discovered even the slightest mention of this error. It's a trifle, but it drives me mad. What could I be doing wrong?

I need to get the modified date on a file in linux to use in a script.I tried using 'ls -l' on the file, but this caused problems when the date turned from a single digit into a double. The reason for the problem was because I was parsing the result string on spaces.How can I get the date of the last time a file was modified so I can use it in a script? For example, if a file was modified on 1/11/2010, I need the 11.

I'm trying to create a backup script. For my second version, I want to make a GUI that will ask the user three things:
1. which folders should be excluded
2. where to store the backup
3. the user's email
I need to store this input, and later input the values into variables in my script. How do I go about doings this?
I have a program that I run from the terminal that requires manual input (it's matlab in mex debugging mode, matlab -Dgdb, which starts the GNU C debugger with its own custom settings).
Every time I run this program I always type in the same few commands in the program's interactive shell before I actually start working (for example: run -nojvm; stop at mexFunction; continue). I want to avoid typing these commands and I thought I could do this with shell scripting, saving the commands in the mycommands file, then running: myprogram < mycommands
The problem is that this runs all the commands and then exits the program. I want it to run the commands and return control to me so I can run my commands. Is there a way to tell the shell to use a file or a string as the input to a program then immediately return control to the user without the exiting the program?
