All,
I have a friend who needs to run a shell script to process data in a
space
or comma delimited file. I think SED or AWK may be needed here, but I
don't
program so I need help. The ASCII File structure is similar to the following:
Lastname Firstname internalphonenumber externalphonenumber
phoneextention
MACaddress ... Lastname Firstname internalphonenumber externalphonenumber
phoneextention
MACaddress ... Lastname Firstname internalphonenumber externalphonenumber
phoneextention
MACaddress ... Lastname Firstname internalphonenumber externalphonenumber
phoneextention
MACaddress ...
The fields are variable length.
My friend needs to be able to plug in commands in this script file so
that
she can have something like:
{command} Lastname {command} Firstname {command} internalphonenumber {command} externalphonenumber ...
test is the file with this data: Lastname Firstname internalphonenumber externalphonenumber phoneextention MACaddress
Also replace command with the command of your choice.
# space delimited $ perl -n -e 'chomp; (@data) = split / /; system "command", @data;' test
# comma delimited $ perl -n -e 'chomp; (@data) = split /,/; system "command", @data;' test _______________________________________________ Kclug mailing list Kclug@kclug.org http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug
