if then print 1

[BIS]

Hallo All (again)

In a previous thread I had the following:

/^langue/ { pr(); $0 = "<preferred_lang>"$2"</preferred_lang>"
print;next}

the pr function is not related to this question. I have changed this to:

/^langue/ { pr(); language = $2; $0 = "<preferred_lang>"language"</preferred_lang>"
print; next}

Now the question. How would I go about
1) if the language variable = en, then print <Country>UK</country> on a seperate line
2) else if the language variable = fr, then print <Country>FR</Country> on a seperate line

Any ideas?

A starting point (brute force method):
/^langue/ { pr(); language = $2; $0 = "<preferred_lang>"language"</preferred_lang>"
print
if(language=="en")print "<Country>UK</country>"
if(language=="fr")print "<Country>FR</Country>"
next
}

Hope This Helps, PH.

PHV,
The if(language=="en") construct was what I was looking for, the == was what caught me.
Twice on one day you help me. This is perfect for now.
Let me just state how much your help is appreciated.
Many many thanks.
