Programming :: Gawk Getline Eats Next Line For Processing?
Mar 19, 2011
I'm working on a simple data processing script.My script uses a loop with getline to check for the value on the next line to decide if it's time to terminate the loop.This works dandy, but the problem is that getline eats that line, which then isn't processed by the rules in the remainder of the script (even though I want it to be). To illustrate what I mean, consider this simple gawk script:
Code:
{
print $0

I have a directory where there are folders and in them some .txt data files. I am trying to output a .txt file with the folder name and the number of .txt files in it using gawk. However, when I run my shell program, because print is nested in a "while" loop, gawk overwrites what's already saved in the output file. I want gawk to print "new" output in a new line without overwriting the already existing text in the output fil
#! /bin/sh
# getting the folder list and the number of folders
ls | gawk '{print}' > ../folder_list.txt

Does anyone know a method of being able to process the complete and literal command line passed to a shell script ? I want to have the command line parameters with ALL characters (including meta characters e.g. $ literally).
So as if there was no shell to substitute or expand parameters nor applying it quoting rules.

I have a very simple gawk script to add commas to numbers to make them more readable:
It works perfectly from the command line, but when run from cron it doesn't add the commas.

My ubuntu 32-bit 9.10 compiles kernel a few times, and now I realized my Win7 lines disappeared. First time when I made the dual boot system, I remember there is a line for Win7, and able to boot up Win7. And then I ran compilations 2 ~ 3 times, and now I see the lines gone. I know 'editing GRUB' is risky, and want to hear advice how to fix. - Actually I don't think I can edit grub.cfg file manually. In my Ubuntu Desktop menu, I still see and mount the Windows disk (physically different partition)

So unbeknownst to me until today, but apparently all configure scripts rely on some version of awk to create the Makefile when config.status is run.how to get gawk reinstalled?I have compiled one on Ubuntu and copied it to my other machine but when run it throws the error:Code:./gawk: no such file or directorySo I am guessing I either need to create a static copy or maybe also copy the libs created from compile with it.

yes, this is a homework question, but no - I'm not trying to get anyone to do it for me. I think that I am really close, but can't quite get one small aspect to work. in gawk, I want to include a variable name in the search string, but the below code doesn't work.
read -p 'Login name please? ' uLogName
userID=$(gawk -F: '/"$uLogName"/{print $3}' /etc/passwd)
echo $userID

I have two files, file1.traj and file2.traj. Both these files contain identical data and the data are arranged in same format in them. The first line of both files is a comment.
At line 7843 of both files there is a cartesian coordinate X, Y and Z ( three digits ). And at line 15685 there is another three digits. The number of lines in between two cartesian coordinates are 7841. And there are few hundreds of thousands of lines in a file.
What I need to do is copy the X Y Z coordinate (three digits) from file1.traj at line 7843 and paste into file2.traj at the same line number as in file1.traj. The next line will be 15685 from file1.traj and replace at line 15685 at file2.traj. And I dont want other lines (data) in file2.traj get altered. This sequence shall be going on until the end of the file. Means copy and substitude the selected lines from file1.traj into file2.traj.
I tried to use paste command but I cant do for specified line alone.
Here i showed the data format in the file. I used the line number for clarity purpose.
Code:

I am trying to extract a web page via Google for processing. I am able to create a proper query and test it using cut/paste into the address bar of my firefox browser.
When I attempt to extract the page with wget:
wget -O - -q "$query"
I do not see the information that is present when I used the browser.

I'm attempting to learn 'processing', the language used on the Arduino but I am having a bad time finding resource because of the poorly chosen name. What I am trying to do is open a pipe to another process/program to use as input to the processing plot program I am writing. I found processing.org but that site is not very helpful. There is plenty of examples of reading from an Arduino from the serial port but I want to read from a program running on my laptop. Both the plot and data accumulator program in the same PC.

I am looking for some suggestions if possible, regarding processing the files using perl script. Scenario is I have a location where new files will be added always. I need to process these files for some validation. I wrote a perl script to do this and I thought I can rename the files once they are processed in that way I dont process the same files again. But now I can't rename the files due to some restrictions. Second thought, to process them based on date stamp but as my perlscript is being automated and runs every one hour to process the files I can't go by date stamp.

Here is the code but it compares only first line of files..but it should compare the whole file1..and sorry iam a beginner in C can any1 sujest some modification to this code so that..it can compare file2 with entire file1

New to Fedora (from Windows), I am up and running ok with packages from the repository but only half ok with Processing, the Java graphics programming front end from processing.org.Their download gave me a .tgz file which Package Manager extracted for me into a location of my choice and where there is now a "processing" shell script.This works ok and I have managed to create a launcher on the desktop. That starts ok but always with processing's default action of giving you a new and automatically named work file.In Windows an existing Processing file (.pde file) could be "opened-with" Processing. Trying to do similar in Fedora I find that I am expected to nominate an Application to open with but Processing has not installed as an application.I guess the question is how do I promote Processing to be an Application?Or is there a different approach?

I use the below loop to process each file (listed in a text file) with a software. During processing the software asks me to enter a value and continues processing of that file after I enter the value. I have those values stored in a text file "myfile". What I want is to get the values directly from myfile when the software asks "please enter the title:". I dont want to enter them all manually. But i could not figure out how to code this in Bash script.
Code:
for ((i=1,i<=$NR,i++)); do
--command of the software comes here--
done

I am attempting to "export" the progress bar from wget display using sed. Basically, we have an app that starts wget to download a large file and we want to show a progress bar. Our application has a dbus interface to receive the download progress.
So we were think of a command like:
wget [] | sed [] | dbus-send[]
The problem at the moment is, how do you get the matched string out of sed and into dbus-send? I can get the progress string by:
sed -u 's/[0-9]*%/&/'
This populated '&' with the correct percentage, but I cannot seem to get this out of sed.

I have a Python script that copies a couple of DLL's and EXE to a directory before running the EXE. It can be a fresh copy or the files can already be in the target directory and are then overwritten. The script uses shutil.copy() to copy the files and that works but as the files are copying processing continues and the script tries to run the files mid copy, causing an error.
I need a way to wait for the files to finish copying before the script continues. Putting the thread to sleep isn't good enough, calling os.system("copy ...") also doesn't work, using os.path.exist() won't work because the file will exist during the copy.

I wish to add information to one of my files based on matching IDs,
Here is an example
(the id is the 3 colunm)
(the ID is the 2 colunm)
And the output i wish to be
OUTPUT:
So as you can see the ones that do not match are still present, and the ones that do match just have the extra information from file2.txt added to them.
I thought about using join but that only seems to join the ones that match displays thoes only. i would like all the information in the output file.

I have two txt files containing x and y coordinates: xcoord.txt & ycoord.txt. I need to open them; read them line by line to get each coordinate; then each time I need to update Xs and Ys parameters inside another file called "dc.in" with the grabbed values.
Finally each time I need to run two exe files ( dc_2002 and st_vac) and produce corresponding output for each Xs and Ys ( dc.in is an input file for this exe files)
I have written the following code but it does not work:

Was wondering if any perl guru's could help me with a quick log file adjustment. I have a text file that looks like so (tabs and newlines are revealed so you can see what separates the data):
There are maybe 100 lines of text in this file at any given time. I need to delete all duplicate lines only looking at the first bit of text prior to the first tab. It doesn't matter which one gets deleted as long as there are no two lines that begin with that same text at the beginning before the first tab. So in this example, either the fist line "1234" or the last line "1234" would need to be deleted. I already have code in my script that opens the files - I just need the code to read the text into an array and the part that would find matches based on the above criteria, and make the deletions.
If it would be easier, I can even do a system call and use SED (v4.1.5) and/or AWK (3.1.5) instead.
