perfect, thank you again.

that got it thank you. I really wish I could wrap my head around arrays for things like this. Do you have a url or a book you could recommend, preferably a dummies version. thank you very much here is what I did # insert First Name awk -F'|' ' FILENAME==ARGV[1] { firstname[$1,$2] = $3...

you are correct, the agent id's are unique for each office id. the firstname[$14] is the actual position in the masterfile of the agent id. sorry not like in the example this is what I came up with but the field is empty in mastefile_temp.txt basically I'm just changing the array built up based...

I have two files that I would like to lookup id's for and add their corresponding values to the end of a master file. I can do this in Microsoft Access, but don't really want to. The office file has a structure of Office ID|Office Name|Address|City|... etc. The agent file has a structure of...

form_data is coming from db-lib.pl, and the program also uses cgi-lib.pl. I know, those programs are as old a dirt, but it has worked well for my requirements to this point. For each row the current row shows when I print print "$row\n"; which is what's expected at this point. So what I'm...

I am attempting to print the results of an array, @database rows which shows the results of 5 records in my database. I need to populate showAddress with each record in the array to put those fancy markers in a google map. If I manually put showAddress in the spot below 5 times with 5 address...

GNU Awk 3.1.3 I'll try a progressive set of 3000 records at a time and report back and let you know. Thanks again.

Thank you so much, it's exactly the snippet I was looking for and I think I can even follow the logic. Not nearly as troublesome/cumbersome as I thought it would be. I have a follow up question that has to do with the durability of the array. In a couple of circumstances fileb.txt could be...

I see another post that is almost what I'm looking for but thought I'd ask about my specific circumstance. Maybe between your input here and the other post I can figure out what I need. I'd like to get away from using microsoft access to do these queries. I know how to do this in a #!/bin/sh...

That's what I was looking for. Thank you!

Using /bin/sh shell script. I have to pull fields from a bigger file, no problem there, I'm just clueless on adding something to the beginning and the end of a field. I have a pipe delimited file as such: I'll only use one line for the example: 12345 will always match, as I'm just duplicating...

Works like a charm thank you. Thanks for sticking with me.

I did, I get a command not found. I was even in the directory and just ran ls ??-*.jpg | awk '{print mv" "$1" "substr($1,4)}' | sh and I get the command not found???

The same directory is fine if that is possible. If not I could move them to a temp directory /path/to/dir/temp.

That command echos to the console fine but the files are not renamed when it's complete?

I need to write a bash shell script to strip the first part of the filename in a directory of files. The original filenames are 05-12345_1.jpg 05-12345_2.jpg 05-12345_3.jpg 06-56789_1.jpg 06-56789_2.jpg 06-56789_3.jpg 06-56789_4.jpg etc. I simply want to strip out the 05- or 06- whatever...

KevinADC I got it figured out! For what it's worth. I added the three lines at the end of the routine you suggesed. I'm guessing that what it does is zero out the array from the results of the previous line. I kept going over your comments and in looking at how some of the other code works in...

I really, really appreciate your taking the time to help me out. It is an old script I picked up long ago and have been banging away at it. I've learned a little and as you can tell, I have a long way to go in my understanding of perl. I couldn't find anything about payment in the rules, but I...

I need to clarify one thing. I did not take out the # in the form_data statements. If I add the # in the form_Data it gives me all the records. here is what I have currently. I took the closing bracket } and moved it all the way to the bottom of the script. open (KEYWORDFILE, "test.txt") ||...

I was messing with the chop vs chomp. It should be chomp no doubt. You actually have me very close with your last suggestion. I moved the } down to the very end of the script. I'm now getting the three emails that I should, based on three lines in the test.txt. What's weird is now it looks...
