awk help

[Martin999]

Hi guys, could someone help me ...

Got a function, see below, I would like to search using the line

" if (/warning/ || /error/ || /emer/) "

I was hoping that the || would mean OR, but not appearing to work.

Anyhelp greatfully received.

Martin

grep "loading volume" $(echo $DAEMONLOG) | ${AWKPATH}/awk '{print $NF}' | sort -u |sed -e "s/:\\\\/.*/" |while read TAPE

do

grep $TAPE $(echo $DAEMONLOG) | ${AWKPATH}/awk '{

if(/[AP]M .*loading volume/){

vol=$9;

}else {if(/loading volume/){vol=$8}}
#Extra if statement (above) due to bug in Networker where date can occasionlly appear in 12 hr format
#and produce an extra field (AM/PM)
if (/warning/ || /error/ || /emer/){


print vol,$0;

}

}'

done |sed -e "/^[ ].*/d" >&3

Hi

According to man and my experience, yes [tt]||[/tt] is logical or operator. And works.

And what about this ?
if (/warning|error|emer/){

Hope This Helps, PH.
