It's actually much easier to stack the variable and shorten the logical condition like the way you did. I'm really glad to have learned this technique. Thank you PS: Script editing is not a real problem because it is embedded in an AppleScript.

I'm stuck on a problem of array printing and a "if" condition . I tried different combinations with the 'for' loop but the result always returns empty. Also when I try to include the "else" statement, I invariably get an "illegal instruction" message. Could you help me on this? --- SAMPLE ---...

Indeed the comment tag is at the end of each record. But I retain the first script... just in case! Thanks for your help.

Hi Feherke, Thank you for the script, it works perfectly. (as usual !) One question though, why the if statement line in the "END" procedure? Could you help me understand ?

Hello everyone, The extract below is the result of a pipe passed through sed with which I clean white space from HTML pages. /* --- SAMPLE --- */ ... <a href='/books/filebooks_gen_cbooks=41386.html'> <b>L'école de la chair</b></a> (Nikutai No Gakka)<br /> <span class=\"fs11\"> 1963<br />...

Thank you very much Sir PHV !!

Hello All, I would like to split a big "pipe" delimited file in as many files as there are columns. The number of columns being undefined, how to make so that each column header acts as the output file name? Sample IN header1|header2|...|headern 11111|txt1|...|alphanum_n1...

Annihilannic, You make my day ! Unfortunately the fields contain spaces and other HTML delicacies which I need, as well as the field "flags" which is crushed in the last substitution. But I will manage this by myself. Thank you for your input, code, explanations & ideas ! Regards Clement

Excuse me to reconsider this subject, but is my problem really unrealizable? If so, would you be so kind to point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone; I have plenty of very large (>60Mo) pseudo-xml files which looks as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> ... more lines here </ObjectStyle> <Object type="Field" flags="67108864" flags="67108864"> <Style>128</Style> <Bounds top=" 24" left="138" bottom=" 38"...

Hello, no idea what your delimiter is.. A global substitution of consecutive spaces or tabs to a line feed awk '{gsub(/[ \t]+/,"\n")}1' file

No problem Futurelet ! Your proposal works too. Thank you very much

Yes, I definitively missed the logical condition... :( Once again, thank you PHV for help, that works a treat.

Thank you Futurelet for your answer I tried your code, but I'm loosing the delimiter (vertical bar) I get this =2006062859.9370-11125.619 instead of: =2006|0628|59.9370-111|25.619

Hello, I'm trying to append a line to previous if it doesn't begin with a equal sign Input ... =POUILLY SUR VINGEANNE =2006 0628 59.9370-111 25.619 =45370 ... Expected Output: ... =POUILLY SUR VINGEANNE =2006|0628|59.9370-111|25.619 =45370 What I've tried so far: awk '/^=/ {if (line) print...

Yep PVH that works! Thank you M'sieur

Hi all, Just wondering if there's a way to write the following command in just one awk call: #!/bin/sh ... awk '{printf "%s" (NR%5 ? "\t" : "\n"),$0}' | awk 'BEGIN{OFS="\t"} {print "'"$1"'", "'"$2"'", $2, $1, $3, $4, $5, "'"`date +%d\/%m\/%Y\ %H:%M:%S`"'", ""}' ... stdout= 27/07/07 92410...

Excuse me for this late answer, I exceptionally granted myself long holidays :) So, many thanks to Vlad and Feherke for their answers. (Works perfectly under OS X) Clement

Hi All, I'm quite new to awk... I did search on this forum but did not find a solution to my problem.. The problem i am having is how to write this in awk (or sed ): - If a line does not end with a parenthese '(', join every following line till one begining with a ')'- ---------- Input ...
