I'm at a total loss with this one...

Here's the script I want to use to inform our customers about a 5¢
(see the problem?) price increase.  It's important for us to use the
cents symbol, so the perception is that the increase is VERY SMALL. 5¢
is just a "nickel", after all...

===========================================================
BEGIN { "date" | getline d
split(d,darr," ")
dtstamp=sprintf("%s %s %s %s\n",darr[1],darr[2],darr[3],darr[6])
}

{

{ thismail = sprintf("echo \"%s\n\nDear %s,\n\nAfter six years of
stable prices, the cost of ink has increased to a point where we can
no longer absorb it. So, we will be increasing the cost of our
premium inks by 5[the cents symbol needs to go here] per pint,
effective May 1, 2007.\n\nWe realize that this may seem like a very
small increase, but over our many customers, and the many, many
gallons shipped, it should cover the increases without greatly
affecting your core business.\n\nThank you for your time.\n\nJerry
Gilels and\nThe TelePrint Operations Team\nCustomer Service Hours:
9am-9pm Mon-Sun (CST)\n\" | mail %s -s\"[Subject goes here]\"",dtstamp,
$5)

}
system(thismail)
}
===========================================================
Also, how can I display the double quotes (") symbol in the same
sort of e-mail? I can't get that one to work either.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Kaushik,

Try removing the "$" in ALL the array references,
for example:       my_Array[$arr_Index] becomes       my_Array[arr_Index]

Ambo

The bit of code I'm using to do this operation is as under -

awk -F"-!-" 'BEGIN{ TotalAlarms=0; InvalidAlarms=0;
OutstandingAlarms=0; TerminatedAlarms=0; AcknowledgedAlarms=0 }
/\/,/\/ {}
/^/ { arr_Index = 0 }
{

    if ( $0 !~ /^/ && $0 !~ /^/ )
    {
       #printf "Line : %s\n", $0
       #count = split ($0,Array,"-!-")
       my_Array[$arr_Index]=sprintf("%s",$0)
       printf ("-- Array %s : @ %d \n",my_Array[$arr_Index],arr_Index )
       arr_Index++
    }

    if ( $0 ~ // )
    {
       print "Hope to see something in the array\n"
       for ( i=0; i <= arr_Index; i++ )
       {
          printf ("Array Here @ %d is %s \n",i,my_Array[$i] )
       }
    }
}' /tmp/Recordfile

I'm unable to print the values stored in the array in the print statement

if ( $0 ~ // )
    {
       print "Hope to see something in the array\n"
       for ( i=0; i <= arr_Index; i++ )
       {
          printf ("Array Here @ %d is %s \n",i,my_Array[$i] )

    }

How does awk handle open files?  Suppose I am running a cron job to
find files that are downloaded to a directory via sftp.  Every 10
minutes, I want to process the files using an awk script and move them
to another directory.  What would happen if the awk script was fired
and the file was not finished downloading?

Would awk handle it gracefully or would I have to account for it in a
unix script?

Thanks

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

*/10 * * * * /bin/process_sun.sh > /dev/null 2>&1

for FILE in `find /home/Upload/* -prune -type f -newer TIMEFILE`
do
  gawk -f convert_sunterra.awk $FILE
done

The algorithm below works best if the file is already pre-sorted based on the
Account Code, so using gawk win32 and gsort win32...

assume test.txt contains:
12345,89
78777,89
56789,40

run gawk -F, "{print $2 \" \" $1}" test.txt | gsort -T. > newtest.txt
then newtest.txt would contain:
40 56789
89 12345
89 12345

Try this out first, I think gsort would have problems sorting account code "200"
& "2000" but at least all data is grouped together by account codes. Then run
the algo below (just swap $2 & $1 in the algo's description)

This doesn't cover all the details, but it is the general idea. I hope

the awk file has to be executable

in httpd.conf :

<IfModule mod_mime.c>
...
AddHandler cgi-script awk
...
</IfModule>


The file index.awk
starts with

#!/bin/gawk -f

Srinivas,

   Here is an awk script I wrote some time ago for adding commas (every 3
digits) into a number.  Command line format would be something like:
echo 1234567 | awk -f comma.awk

     Where "comma.awk" would be the filename of the below script.



=======



#

#   awk program to add commas in a number every 3 digits

#

{

   # ... save off the number

   num = $1 ;

   # ... get length of the number entered

   lng = length($1) ;



   # ... determine the number of commas that needs to be added to the
number entered

   commas = int(lng/3) ;



   # ... determine number of remaining numbers (modulo arithmetic)

   lose1 = lng % 3 ;



   # ... no remaining numbers AND number needs at least ONE comma then

   # ...    subtract one from comma count before we start

   if (( ! lose1 ) && ( commas > 0 ))

   {

     commas -= 1 ;

   }



   # ... initialize the string variable to an empty string

   num = "" ;



   for( x = 1 ; x <= commas ; x++ )

   {

     # ... add 3 to a loop counter

     y += 3



     # ... starting at the end of the number, strip off 3 chars at a time

     get = substr($1,lng-y+1,3) ;



     if ( x == 1 )

     {

       num = get ;

     }

     else

     {

       # ... add a comma to the string

       num = get "," num ;

     }

   }



   # ... if have less than another set of 3 numbers, then

   # ...   add what's left of the number to the front

   rest = lng - (commas * 3 )



   if ( rest > 0 )

   {

     # ... if number was shorter than 3 chars then print it without comma

     if(lng>3)

     {

       get = substr($1,1,rest) ;

       num = get "," num ;

     }

     else

     {

       num = substr($1,1,rest) ;

     }

   }

   print num ;

}



   Sorry, but can't help with the rest of your request, beyond my skill
set right now.



Good luck,

dan

Hello friends,
My name is Srinivas Chakrpani, I have so many doubts in awk scripting.
The scripting tools like perl,php,python can call from a web browser.
Just by modification the Add-Handler types in httpd.conf file (for
apache web server). Is it possible in the same way we can call any
awkscript from the webserver. If so please give the details what we
have to do to the file/ permissions to files and with a example script.

Moreover I want to format the numbers in awk that is
123456 as 1,23,456 how is it possible if possible please share me with
a example

I want access multiple files in awk is it possible?

I'm trying to run a .tcl using wish which keeps giving me trouble.
This exception is apparently looking for a paticular class

that the .tcl works on). GnuWin32 seems to be correctly installed and
listed on the classpath as well. -Any thoughts?

  Double Quote maybe...   Just a thought.

  Good luck !!

  Hi,
  can someone help me with this?
  i want the print command to print a double quote mark as part of a
  string. mawk won't have it. a double quote is a control character and
  mawk will be damned if it's gonna let me treat it like a regular
  character.

  i wanna change this:

  jack spratt could
  eat no fat

  to this:

  jack " spratt could
  eat " no fat

  and i wanna do it on the command line. something like this:

  mawk "{ print $1, [some expression that mawk will recognize as a
  quote], $2, $3}" input.txt > output.txt

  i've tried *everything*. \", \\", \\\", "\"", /\"/, \x22, "\x22" .....
  any combination you could possibly think of. i've read whatever
  references i could find. nothing works.

  anybody out there who's been there and done that?

  thanx, mike

Mike... what would happen if you did a:

             gawk "{print 'word' }"

                   or

             gawk "{print \"word\" }"



   (the idea being for the command line interpreter to know what double
quote belongs to IT and what quote belongs to the statement within the
command line)



Good luck,

danny

that was my silver bullet! i tried variants on what you wrote and
finally stumbled on the solution:

i did:
mawk "{print $1, \"\\\"\"}"

and it did:
"

YES! i'm not gonna waste my time trying to decipher the logic of it,
just thank the Lord that it works. and it only takes 8 characters to
specify that one character!

now i have one more problem though. i want to print a literal string
constant. it won't do it:

i do:
mawk "{print "word"}"

and it does:

.... nothing! no errors, but no output either. am i doin something
wrong?

There is freeware for Windows at http://www.klabaster.com, if anyone is
interested.

Albert,
   Thank you. You're right. The issue seemed to be that the gnuwin32  wasn't in
the environment variables path. I appreciate the quick  response, too.

Any ideas on what this is referring to or how to correct it?

It seems to be related to the following:

proc run {filename} {
     set base [file rootname $filename]

     set as400 $base
     append as400 ".sql"
     set hsql $base
     append hsql "_hsql.sql"
     set insert $base
     append insert "_insert.java"
     set update $base
     append update "_update.java"

     set arg [getNewFlag $base]

     eval {exec gawk -v newtable=$arg -f ../formsql.awk $filename > $as400}

Thanks for any insight,
Dave

Sorry about the previous wrong example.  For GAWK the format is a little
bit different than the AWK format.  Here is the GAWK format:



gawk -F":" '{if($1 == ZZ) { print $6 }}' -v "ZZ=${username}" passwd.bak
>output



   If needed two arguments passed in you would have to give another   -v
preceeding the double-quote surrounded variable and it's value,  ie.,
"YY=12345" , ie. :



gawk -F":" '{if($1 == ZZ) { print $6 } ; if(YY == $4) { print $6 }}'  -v
"ZZ=${username}"  -v "YY=12345"  passwd.bak  >output



    You may want to put the script into a file (say filename "space.gwk"
) and try it like the below:



gawk -F":"  -f space.gwk -v "ZZ=${username}"  passwd.bak  >output
