Hello guys, I am trying to split 1

[HIB049]

Hello guys,

I am trying to split the following line using awk. I have tried every possible unix command sed, awk, cut, and tr, but to not avail.

PLS can you help.

What I am tryin to do is as follows

Line that needs to be processed is as follows:


X11.base.rte 4.3.3.75 COMMITTED AIXwindows Run time Enviro
X11.base.smt 4.3.3.50 COMMITTED AIXwindows Runtimed Shared

I want to split the following above line to the following:

X11.base.rte,4.3.3.75,COMITTED,AIXwindows Run time Enviro
X11.base.smt,4.3.3.50,COMITTED,AIXwindows Runtimed Shared

Can I achieve the above using AWK????????

I have used the following, but its not a perfect solution

echo "X11.base.rte 4.3.3.75 COMMITTED AIXwindows Run time Enviro" | awk -f '{print $1","$2","$3","$4 $5 $6....$n}'

Is there another way of achieving the above????

YOUR HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED.

Ed

something like this - given the number of fields is variable, but greater than 4.

nawk -f sub.awk myTextFile.txt

#------------ sub.awk
BEGIN {
OFS=","
}

{
match($0,$4);
$4=substr($0, RSTART);
NF=4
print $0
}
vlad
