awk READY...

[Saxer]

Hi people

I have to check a script from someone and there is one line that I never seem before…

print -u3 "$(date +%c) - TransDelete Run Complete - $(awk '/READY/{print $3 " rows deleted"}' /tmp/TransDelete.tmp)"

I never use “awk ‘/READY/”
Anyone of you know what is the awk behavior using “READY” statement??
I am using HP-UX

Thanks in advance
Daniel

/READY/ matches any lines containing the text "READY". So that will print the third field of the matching line, followed by the words "rows deleted".
