syntax error near unexpected token near `(' - bash

Question

Command below does not run from script:
zcat *|cut -d"," -f1,2 | tr -d "\r" |
awk -F "," '{if (\$1 =="\"word\"" || \$1 =="\"word2\""){printf "\n%s",\$0}else{printf "%s",\$0}}' |
grep -i "resultCode>00000" | wc -l
Error:
./script.sh: command substitution: line 8: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./script.sh: command substitution: line 8: `ssh -t user#ip 'cd "$(ls -td path/* | tail -n1)" && zcat *|cut -d"," -f1,2 | tr -d "\r" | awk -F "," '{if ($1 =="\"word\"" || $1 =="\"word2\""){printf "\n\%s",$0}else{printf "\%s",$0}}'| grep -i "resultCode>00000" | wc -l''
How should i fix syntax error near unexpected token?

Answer 1

ssh -t user#ip 'cd "$(ls -td path/* | tail -n1)" &&
zcat *|cut -d"," -f1,2 | tr -d "\r" |
awk -F "," '{if ($1 =="\"word\"" || $1 =="\"word2\""){
printf "\n\%s",$0}else{printf "\%s",$0}}'|
grep -i "resultCode>00000" | wc -l''
There's a mountain of syntax errors here. First off, you can't nest single quotes like this: ''''. That's two single-quoted empty strings next to each other, not single quotes inside single quotes. In fact, there is no way to have single quotes inside single quotes. (It is possible to get them there by other means, e.g. by switching to double quotes.)
If you don't have any particular reason to run all of these commands remotely, the simplest fix is probably to just run the zcat in SSH, and have the rest of the pipeline run locally. If the output from zcat is massive, there could be good reasons to avoid sending it all over the SSH connection, but let's just figure out a way to fix this first.
ssh -t user#ip 'cd "$(ls -td path/* | tail -n1)" && zcat *' |
cut -d"," -f1,2 | tr -d "\r" |
awk -F "," '{if ($1 =="\"word\"" || $1 =="\"word2\""){
printf "\n\%s",$0}else{printf "\%s",$0}}'|
grep -i "resultCode>00000" | wc -l
But of course, you can replace grep | wc -l with grep -c, and probably refactor all of the rest into your Awk script.
ssh -t user#ip 'cd "$(ls -td path/* | tail -n1)" && zcat *' |
awk -F "," '$1 ~ /^\"(word|word2)\"$/ { printf "\n%s,%s", $1, $2; next }
{ printf "%s,%s", $1, $2 }
END { printf "\n" }' |
grep -ic "resultCode>0000"
The final grep can probably also be refactored into the Awk script, but without more knowledge of what your expected input looks like, I would have to guess too many things. (This already rests on some possibly incorrect assumptions.)
If you want to run all of this remotely, the second simplest fix is probably to pass the script as a here document to SSH.
ssh -t user#ip <<\:
cd "$(ls -td path/* | tail -n1)" &&
zcat * |
awk -F "," '$1 ~ /^\"(word|word2)\"$/ { printf "\n%s,%s", $1, $2; next }
{ printf "%s,%s", $1, $2 } END { printf "\n" }' |
grep -ic "resultCode>00000"
:
where again my refactoring of your Awk script may or may not be an oversimplification which doesn't do exactly what your original code did. (In particular, removing DOS carriage returns from the end of the line seems superfluous if you are only examining the first two fields of the input; but perhaps there can be lines which only have two fields, which need to have the carriage returns trimmed. That's easy in Awk as such; sub(/\r/, "").)
