Increment a value regarding a pattern in a file - shell

I have a file like this :
"A";"1"
"A";""
"A";""
"B";"1"
"C";"1"
"C";""
"C";""
When I have the same pattern between first part of current line and previous line, I want increment the second part of my line.
like this :
"A";"1"
"A";"2"
"A";"3"
"B";"1"
"C";"1"
"C";"2"
"C";"3"
or if second part is empty I take the previous line and I increment it.
Do you have any idea how I can do this with a shell script or maybe with awk or sed command?

With perl:
$ perl -F';' -lane 'if ($F[1] =~ /"(\d+)"/) { $saved = $1; } else { $saved++; $F[1] = qq/"$saved"/; }
print join(";", #F)' example.txt
"A";"1"
"A";"2"
"A";"3"
"B";"1"
"C";"1"
"C";"2"
"C";"3"
With awk:
$ awk -F';' -v OFS=';' '
$2 ~ /"[0-9]+"/ { saved = substr($2, 2, length($2) - 2) }
$2 == "\"\"" { $2 = "\"" ++saved "\"" }
{ print }' example.txt
"A";"1"
"A";"2"
"A";"3"
"B";"1"
"C";"1"
"C";"2"
"C";"3"

awk to get value for a column of next line and add it to the current line in shellscript

I have a csv file lets say lines
cat lines
1:abc
6:def
17:ghi
21:tyu
I wanted to achieve something like this
1:6:abc
6:17:def
17:21:ghi
21::tyu
Tried the below code by didn't work
awk 'BEGIN{FS=OFS=":"}NR>1{nln=$1;cl=$2}NR>0{print $1,nln,$2}' lines
1::abc
6:6:def
17:17:ghi
21:21:tyu
Can you please help ?
Here is a potential AWK solution:
cat lines
1:abc
6:def
17:ghi
21:tyu
awk -F":" '{num[NR]=$1; letters[NR]=$2}; END{for(i=1;i<=NR;i++) print num[i] ":" num[i + 1] ":" letters[i]}' lines
1:6:abc
6:17:def
17:21:ghi
21::tyu
Formatted:
awk '
BEGIN {FS=OFS=":"}
{
num[NR] = $1;
letters[NR] = $2
}
END {for (i = 1; i <= NR; i++)
print num[i], num[i + 1], letters[i]
}
' lines
1:6:abc
6:17:def
17:21:ghi
21::tyu
Basically this is your solution but I switched the order of the code blocks and added the END block to output the last record, you were close:
awk 'BEGIN{FS=OFS=":"}FNR>1{print p,$1,q}{p=$1;q=$2}END{print p,"",q}' file
Explained:
$ awk 'BEGIN {
FS=OFS=":" # delims
}
FNR>1 { # all but the first record
print p,$1,q # output $1 and $2 from the previous round
}
{
p=$1 # store for the next round
q=$2
}
END { # gotta output the last record in the END
print p,"",q # "" feels like cheating
}' file
Output:
1:6:abc
6:17:def
17:21:ghi
21::tyu
1st solution: Here is a tac + awk + tac solution. Written and tested with shown samples only.
tac Input_file |
awk '
BEGIN{
FS=OFS=":"
}
{
prev=(prev?$2=prev OFS $2:$2=OFS $2)
}
{
prev=$1
}
1
' | tac
Explanation: Adding detailed explanation for above code.
tac Input_file | ##Printing lines from bottom to top of Input_file.
awk ' ##Getting input from previous command as input to awk.
BEGIN{ ##Starting BEGIN section from here.
FS=OFS=":" ##Setting FS and OFS as colon here.
}
{
prev=(prev?$2=prev OFS $2:$2=OFS $2) ##Creating prev if previous NOT NULL then add its value prior to $2 with prev OFS else add OFS $2 in it.
}
{
prev=$1 ##Setting prev to $1 value here.
}
1 ##printing current line here.
' | tac ##Sending awk output to tac to make it in actual sequence.
2nd solution: Adding Only awk solution with 2 times passing Input_file to it.
awk '
BEGIN{
FS=OFS=":"
}
FNR==NR{
if(FNR>1){
arr[FNR-1]=$1
}
next
}
{
$2=(FNR in arr)?(arr[FNR] OFS $2):OFS $2
}

Is there a way to double print a file in bash? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How to redirect output to a file and stdout
(11 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I'm new to Linux and programming. My problem is the following: I have a file listing 3 columns. I want to swap the first and the last column, print it to prompt AND to a new file in one line. So I swapped the columns and printed it to prompt OR to a file.
$ awk -F, ' { t = $1; $1 = $3; $3 = t; print; } ' OFS=, liste.csv
This is my base line to print it to prompt. But it seems impossible to print it to a new file in the same command line.
Does anyone have the idea?
Here are some examples that didn't work:
$ awk -F, ' { t = $1; $1 = $3; $3 = t; print; } ' OFS=, liste.csv | >liste2.csv
$ printf "$(sudo awk -F, ' { t = $1; $1 = $3; $3 = t; print; } ' OFS=, liste.csv > liste2.csv)"
$ cat $(sudo awk -F, ' { t = $1; $1 = $3; $3 = t; print; } ' OFS=, liste.csv > liste2.csv)
I think you catch the drift of what I ask.
Thanks!
Use tee command as mentioned in How to redirect output to a file and stdout
Or, redirect it within awk itself by adding print > "liste2.csv" in addition to the existing print for displaying on stdout
print it to prompt AND to a new file in one line
This sound like task for tee. Assuming
awk -F, ' { t = $1; $1 = $3; $3 = t; print; } ' OFS=, liste.csv
does produce correct output to standard output, this
awk -F, ' { t = $1; $1 = $3; $3 = t; print; } ' OFS=, liste.csv | tee liste2.csv
should write to liste2.csv and standard output

Putting awk in a function

I have 4 awks that are really similiar so I want to put them in a function. My awk code is...
awk -v MYPATH="$MYPATH" -v FILE_EXT="$FILE_EXT" -v NAME_OF_FILE="$NAME_OF_FILE" -v DATE="$DATE" -v pattern="$STORED_PROCS_BEGIN" '
$0 ~ pattern {
rec = $1 OFS $2 OFS $4 OFS $7
for (i=9; i<=NF; i++) {
rec = rec OFS $i
if ($i ~ /\([01]\)/) {
break
}
}
print rec >> "'$MYPATH''$NAME_OF_FILE''$DATE'.'$FILE_EXT'"
}
' "$FILE_LOCATION"
So the pattern and regular expression differ. How can I put this awk in a function where I can replace pattern with $1 and /([01])/ with $2 if I already use those in my awk?
EDIT:
I was thinking I can do...
printFmt(){
awk -v .......
$0 ~ patten {
rec..
for..
rec..
if($i ~ search)
break
print rec
then call with printFmt set?
}
Not sure where the problem is since you already have in your code exactly what you need to do but maybe this will help by simplifying it a bit:
$ cat tst.sh
function prtStuff() {
awk -v x="$1" 'BEGIN{ print x }'
}
prtStuff "foo"
prtStuff "---"
prtStuff "bar"
$ ./tst.sh
foo
---
bar

How to print a pattern using AWK?

I need to find in file word that matches regex pattern.
So if in line, i have:
00:10:20,918 I [AbstractAction.java] - register | 0.0.0.0 | {GW_CHANNEL=AA, PWD=********, ID=777777, GW_USER=BB, NUM=3996, SYSTEM_USER=OS, LOGIC_ID=0}
awk -F' ' '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){ if($i ~ /GW_USER/ && /GW_CHANNEL/){print $5 " " $i} } }'
Print only:
register GW_USER=BB
I wonna get:
register GW_USER=BB GW_CHANNEL=AA
How to print GW_USER and GW_CHANNEL columns?
Your if condition isn't looking right, you can use regex alternation:
awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){ if($i ~ /GW_USER|GW_CHANNEL/) print $5, $i } }' file
There is no need to use -F" " and " " in print as that is default field separator.
Your condition:
if($i ~ /GW_USER/ && /GW_CHANNEL/)
Will match FW_USER against $i but will match GW_CHANNEL in whole line.
Whenever you have name=value pairs in your input, it's a good idea to create an array that maps the names to the values and then print by name:
$ cat tst.awk
match($0,/{[^}]+/) {
str = substr($0,RSTART+1,RLENGTH-1)
split(str,arr,/[ ,=]+/)
delete n2v
for (i=1; i in arr; i+=2) {
n2v[arr[i]] = arr[i+1]
}
print $5, fmt("GW_USER"), fmt("GW_CHANNEL")
}
function fmt(name) { return (name "=" n2v[name]) }
$
$ awk -f tst.awk file
register GW_USER=BB GW_CHANNEL=AA
that way you trivially print or do anything else you want with any other field in future.

Overwriting a file in bash

I have a file, of which a part is shown below:
OUTPUT_FILENAME="out.Received.Power.x.0.y.1.z.0.41
X_TX=0
Y_TX=1
Z_TX=0.41
I would like to automatically change some part of it with BASH: every time i see OUTPUT_FILENAME i want to over write the name next to it and change it with a new one. Then i want to do the same with the values X_TX, Y_TX and Z_TX: delete the value next to it and rewrite a new one. For example instead of X_TX=0 i want X_TX=0.3 or viceversa.
Do you think it's possible?Maybe with grep or so..
You can use sed like this:
i.e. to replace X_TX= with X_TX=123 you can do:
sed -i -e 's/X_TX=.*/X_TX=123/g' /tmp/file1.txt
One option using awk. Your values are passed as variables to the awk script and substituted when exists a match:
awk -v outfile="str_outfile" -v x_tx="str_x" -v y_tx="str_y" -v z_tx="str_z" '
BEGIN { FS = OFS = "=" }
$1 == "OUTPUT_FILENAME" { $2 = outfile; print; next }
$1 == "X_TX" { $2 = x_tx; print $0; next }
$1 == "Y_TX" { $2 = y_tx; print $0; next }
$1 == "Z_TX" { $2 = z_tx; print $0; next }
' infile
