If pattern is not found 2

[frangac]

Hi,

Below is my code which the output I receive is not what I expect. What I need help in is when
/[a-z]:/ is not found print a mesg and then exit or else if pattern is found, print certain columns as required.


awk '{if(!~/:/){
print "No Errors were Found for `date +'%Y%m%d'`"
}
else
{
printf "%s %s\n", $1,$2
}
}' file > output filename

sample file

APAU_DATETIME APAU_USER_NAME APAU_EXTRAINFO

-------------------------- ------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi

I do not really understand your problem. If was only the syntax, then this works for me :

awk '
BEGIN {ORS=""}
{
  if ($0!~/[a-z]:/) { print "No Errors were Found for "; system("date +%Y%m%d"); }
  else { printf "%s %s\n", $1,$2; }
}
' file > output filename

Hi Feherke,

Thanks for your responce. I get the same output as what you get with your code. I have managed to resolve it

awk ' /[a-z]:/{
++a
printf "%s %s \n", $1,$2
}
END{if(!a){
printf "No Errors were Corrected/commited for $DATE"
}
}' file1 > output Filename

Many Thanks Once Again
Chris

/[a-z]:/ { print $1,$2; e++ }
END { if (!e) print "No errors." }
