Hoe to check values in a file

[zanzemaj]

I am using a ksh script. Please help me read and get values from this file called stat.txt:

Job information for Job ID '465' using a Traditional view


Job "PD1002_predefined" - 2007-06-21 20:32:18
    (ID 465)

Operation: ARCHIVE
    TDPID: 1
  Streams: 3


Stream  Client                              Size      Time Statcode
------  -------------------- ------------------- --------- --------
1       sldgpp01                       9,501,272  09:09:25        4
2       sldgpp02                 376,857,925,467  09:09:24        4
3       sldgpp03                       9,501,270  09:09:23       12

I need to check the values of Statcode, if I get a value of 0 or 4, then echo "Status Ok". If I get other values, say Statcode is 8 or 12, echo "Error" and Exit 1.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

And what have you tried so far and where in your code are you stuck ?

This is my starting point:

awk '{print $5}' stat.txt

This produces:

ID


20:32:18







Statcode
--------
4
4
12

How do I get the values of Statcode (which for this file is 4,4,12 and check them, if I get a 12 or 8, message an error)

Hi

Based on your code this seems to be enough :

awk '$5==8||$5==12{print"error :",$5}' stat.txt

To check only values of the bottom "table", restrict the check to the values after the line composed only by dashes ( - ) and spaces ( ) :

awk '/^[- ]*$/{l=1}l&&($5==8||$5==12){print"error :",$5}'
