Unix script - egrep

[rrrirvine]

Hi..

I have text file which has info like below.
name=abcd
fullName:abcd xyzw
cn:xyz

name=abcd1
fullName:abcd1 xyzw2
cn:xyz1

name=abcd2
fullName:abcd2 xyzw2
cn:xyz2

etc
etc

and it is large text file.

Now i want to grab the only info od cn: and fullName: info in to seperate file each in one line.

so output file will be looks like below.
xvz abcd,xyzw
xvz1 abcd1,xyzw1
xvz2 abcd2,xyzw2


can anybody help be appreciated.

Thanks,

A starting point:

awk -F: '/^fullName:/{f=$2}/^cn:/{print $2,f}' /path/to/input > output

Hope This Helps, PH.

I was doing this on solaris box:
# cat textfile |egrep "^cn: " | awk '{print $2}'

and it works fine but how to retrieve 'fullName' filed info at the same time in it will be in format described above for output.

thx
