I eventually figured out the missing comma from the split function, but what i didn't realize was "in" worked on the key rather than the value. Once i got past the missing comma I came up with this earlier and it worked too.. BEGIN {...

Ahhhhh - that's much better! - Thanks very much futurelet.

Thanks for the response feherke. - I guess i'd better polish up on my AWK skills and start debugging manually with print. Shaun.

What is the simplest way to determine if an element in an array contains a particular value? I have tried the following without success (Always returns "No!"): split("SMTP,smtp,X400,x400,X500,x500,MS,ms,RFAX,rfax,CCMAIL,ccmail",ValidTypes) variable = "X400" if (variable in ValidTypes) {...

...I have managed to improve the above to this: mbname=$3 if (mbname ~ /^\"/) { split($3,xxx,"\"") mbname=xxx[2] } Is that as efficent as it gets or am i still missing a simpler solution?

Can anyone suggest a simple way to only return data that exists between quotes within a field. EG of data set: Mailbox}@{JohnD}@{John Doe}@{john.doe@domain.com%jd@domain.com%jd@dom2.com}@{y Mailbox}@{MaryS}@{“Smith, Mary”}@{smithm@domain.com}@{y Mailbox}@{BudH}@{Bud...

Does anyone know if there is a graphical interface available for developing / debugging AWK programs? The sort of thing I am looking for will allow you to ‘single-step’ through AWK scripts, add ‘watches’ for variables, etc. Other features like syntax checking or even an included command...

Could have swore i'd already tried that but obviously not as it works fine! - Thanks very much for the help PH.

Nooby question: I am trying to use a variable in a 'match' expression but am having no luck. Can anyone advise how i should be doing this. This works: $4 ~ /@domain.com/ { print NR "\t" # $0 } But this does not: variable="@domain.com" $4 ~ /$variable/ { print NR "\t" # $0 } Shaun.
