SED to AWK how-to... 1

[admoore]

I have a .bash script like this...

#!/bin/bash
awk -F, -v OFS=, '{$3=tolower($3);print}' input.txt > new
sed  s/\ 0:00:00// new > output.txt
rm new

The awk portion coverts a particular string to lower case and the SED portion deletes the string 0:00:00 wherever it is found in the source comma delimited file...

How would I do this all in awk?

AND

How would I also skip over lines that contained certain strings like CO. or INC., etc...

TIA,

-Allen Moore

awk '!/INC\./{ gsub(" 0:00:00","&quot ;$3=tolower($3); print}' input.txt > output.txt
