getting a list of numbers in numerous files. 2

[cosmos77]

Hi,
i have a lot (i.e around 10000) files with *.te extension.

i want to list out all the numbers in these files and print the numbers to another file.

is there an awk script that can take care of this.

Thanks in advance.
Ajay

If you just want to print any line with a number on it, try

awk '/[0-9]/' *.te > output-file

If this is not what you want, post an example of the input data and the output you expect. CaKiwi

Thanks CaKiwi for the tip .
But the thing is i just want to print out the number and not the entire line. here is a small sample.


i have a text file having records like

file1
------

t xf 56 amboy
fg 84 79 345
hj 97 4567

and i want to print out to file 2 like

file2
----
56
84
79
345
97
4567

which are the list of all the numbers.


Thanks
Ajay

try

{
for (j=1;j<=NF;j++) {
if ($j ~ /^[0-9]+$/) print $j
}
} CaKiwi

what is the &quot;number&quot;?
Are the following considered 'valid numbers'?

-2
3.567
1,200.5
1.2e3 vlad

This is printing out alphanumeric records too. like w0987

i just needed integers to printed out.


Thanks

It does not print out w0987 for me. Post the script you are using and a simple data file that fails. CaKiwi

Thanks a lot CaKiwi, It works fine. There was a slight mix up from my end.


Thanks again
Ajay
