awk question

[vaat]

how do I display the fiels after the awk field search ?

so je search for a string like:

nawk '/string/ {print $1}' filename

it is printing colomn 1 but I want the colomn after the string, that can be colomn 1,2,4,6,100 en so on !

This sounds something like:

/string/ {
for( i = 1; i <= NF; i++ )
if( $i ~ /string/ ) print $(i+1)
}

Cheers,

this works: thanxs all


for i in `ls startrek*`
do
echo $i
sp=`nawk '!/--/ && !/stardate/ {print $0}' $i`;
cr=`nawk -F, '/--/ {print $1, $2}' $i`;
st=`nawk -F &quot;stardate&quot; '/stardate/ {print $2}' $i`;
echo $st @ $cr @ $sp >> bla
done

sort -fi bla | nawk -F@ '{printf &quot;STARDATE\t %s\n CREDITS\t %s\n SPREUK\t\t %s\n\n&quot;, $1, $2, $3}' > uitvoer
rm bla
