I'm trying to split a file that contains multiple SSL certificates with AWK but is showing an error message:
awk: too many output files 10
Command that I'm using is the following:
cat ${SSL_CERTIFICATES_PATH} | awk '/BEGIN/ { i++; } /BEGIN/, /END/ { print > i ".extracted.crt" }'
Error Message:
awk: too many output files 10
record number 735
Do you know how could I solve this issue?
You have to close() file,
awk '/BEGIN/ {f=i++".extracted.crt"}/BEGIN/,/END/{print > f;if(/END/)close(f)}'
The Best solution as suggested by Ed Morton, one should not use range expressions, for more details Read Here
awk '/BEGIN/{f=(++i)".extracted.crt"} f{print>f} /END/{close(f);f=""}'
Here is sample (not certificate)
Input
$ cat file
BEGIN
1
END
BEGIN
2
END
BEGIN
3
END
Execution
$ awk '/BEGIN/{f=i++".extracted.crt"}/BEGIN/,/END/{print > f;if(/END/)close(f)}' file
$ awk '/BEGIN/{f=(++i)".extracted.crt"} f{print>f} /END/{close(f);f=""}' file
Output files
$ ls *.crt
0.extracted.crt 1.extracted.crt 2.extracted.crt
File contents of each
$ for i in *.crt; do echo $i; cat $i; done
0.extracted.crt
BEGIN
1
END
1.extracted.crt
BEGIN
2
END
2.extracted.crt
BEGIN
3
END
We have to close the files each time variable i's value gets increases by 1, so try following and let me know if this helps you.
awk '/BEGIN/ {close(i".extracted.crt");i++} /BEGIN/, /END/ { print > i".extracted.crt" }' ${SSL_CERTIFICATES_PATH}
EDIT: Xavier, I have checked with a friend who has SUN 5 with him and following worked well without any error. You could put variable as per your need.
/usr/xpg4/bin/awk '/BEGIN/ {close(i".extracted.crt");i++} /BEGIN/, /END/ { print > i".extracted.crt" }' *.crt

I have a file (in.txt) with the following columns:
# DM Sigma Time (s) Sample Downfact
78.20 7.36 134.200512 2096883 70
78.20 7.21 144.099904 2251561 70
78.20 9.99 148.872384 2326131 150
78.20 10.77 283.249664 4425776 45
I want to write a bash script to divide all values in column 'Time' by 0.5867, get a precision up to 2 decimal points and print out the resulting values in another file out.txt
I tried using bc/awk but it gives this error.
awk: cmd. line:1: fatal: division by zero attempted
awk: fatal: cannot open file `file' for reading (No such file or directory)
Could someone help me with this? Thanks.
This is the bash script that I attempted:
cat in.txt | while read DM Sigma Time Sample Downfact; do
echo "$DM $Sigma $Time $Sample $Downfact"
pperiod = 0.5867
awk -v n=$Time 'BEGIN {printf "%.2f\n", (n/$pperiod)}'
#echo "scale=2 ; $Time / $pperiod" | bc
#echo "$subint" > out.txt
done
I expected the script to divide column 'Time' with pperiod and get the result with a precision of 2 decimal places. This result should be printed to a file named out.txt
Lots of issues with current awk code:
need to pass in the value of the $pperiod variable
need to reference the Time column by is position ($3 in this case)
BEGIN{} block is applied before any input lines are processed and has nothing to do with processing of actual input lines
there is no code to perform processing on actual input lines
need to decide what to do in the case of a divide by zero scenario (in this case we'll default answer to 0.00)
NOTE: current code generates divide by zero error because $pperiod is an undefined (awk) variable which in turn defaults to 0
additionally, pperiod = 0.5867 is invalid bash syntax
One idea for fixing current issues:
pperiod=0.5867
awk -v pp="${pperiod}" 'NR>1 {printf "%.2f\n", (pp==0 ? 0 : ($3/pp))}' in.txt > out.txt
Where:
-v pp="${pperiod}" - assign awk variable pp the value of the bash variable "${pperiod}"
NR>1 - skip header line
NR>1 {printf "%.2f\n" ...}- for each input line, other than the header line, print the result of dividing theTimecolumn (aka$3) by the value of the awkvariablepp(which holds the value of thebashvariable"${pperiod}"`)
(pp==0 ? 0 : ($3/pp)) - if pp is equal 0 we print 0 else print result of $3/pp) (this keeps us from generating a divide by zero error)
NOTE: this also eliminates the need for the cat|while loop
This generates:
$ cat out.txt
228.74
245.61
253.75
482.78
I have a tab separated text file, call it input.txt
cat input.txt

Using the information in input.txt I want to obtain information from a file called Other_File.fa. This file is an annotation file filled with ENST#'s (transcript IDs) and sequences of A's,T's,C's,and G's. I want to store the sequence in a file called Output.log (see example below) and I want to store the command used to retrieve the text in a file called Input.log (see example below).
I have tried to do this using awk and cut so far using a for loop. This is the code I have tried.
for line in `awk -F "\\t" 'NR != 1 {print substr($2,2,17)"#"$5}' input.txt`
do
transcript=`cut -d "#" -f 1 $line`
range=`cut -d "#" -f 2 $line` #Range is the string location in Other_File.fa
echo "Our transcript is ${transcript} and our range is ${range}" >> Input.log
sed -n '${range}' Other_File.fa >> Output.log
done
Here is an example of the 11 lines between ENST00000433768.5 and ENST00000431184.1 in Other_File.fa.

But I am getting the following error, and I am unsure as to why or how to fix it.
cut: ENST00000433768.5#6436967,6436977: No such file or directory
cut: ENST00000433768.5#6436967,6436977: No such file or directory
Our transcript is and our range is
My thought was each line from the awk would be read as a string then cut could split the string along the "#" symbol I have added, but it is reading each line as a file and throwing an error when it can't locate the file in my directory.
Thanks.
EDIT2: This is a generic solution which will compare 2 files(input and other_file.fa) and on whichever line whichever range is found it will print them. Eg--> Range numbers are found on 300 line number but range shows you should print from 1 to 20 it will work in that case also. Also note this calls system command which further calls sed command(like you were using range within sed), there are other ways too, like to load whole Input_file into an array or so and then print, but I am going with this one here, fair warning this is not tested with huge size files.
awk -F'[>| ]' '
FNR==NR{
arr[$2]=$NF
next
}
($2 in arr){
split(arr[$2],lineNum,",")
print arr[$2]
start=lineNum[1]
end=lineNum[2]
print "sed -n \047" start","end"p \047 " FILENAME
system("sed -n \047" start","end"p\047 " FILENAME)
start=end=0
}
' file1 FS="[>|]" other_file.fa
EDIT: With OP's edited samples, please try following to print lines based on other file. assumes that the line you find range values, those values will be always after the line on which they found(eg--> 3rd line range values found and range is 4 to 10).
awk -F'[>| ]' '
FNR==NR{
arr[$2]=$NF
next
}
($2 in arr){
split(arr[$2],lineNum," ")
start=lineNum[1]
end=lineNum[2]
}
FNR>=start && FNR<=end{
print
if(FNR==end){
start=end=0
}
}
' file1 FS="[>|]" other_file.fa
You need not to do this with a for loop and then call awk program each time for each line. This could be done in single awk, considering that you have to only print them. Written and tested with your shown samples.
awk -F'[>| ]' 'FNR>1{print "Our transcript is:"$3" and our range is:"$NF}' Input_file
NOTE: This will print for each line of your Input_file values of transcript and range, in case you want to further perform some operation with their values then please do mention.
I have a large directory of data files which I am in the process of manipulating to get them in a desired format. They each begin and end 15 lines too soon, meaning I need to strip the first 15 lines off one file and paste them to the end of the previous file in the sequence.
To begin, I have written the following code to separate the relevant data into easy chunks:
#!/bin/bash
destination='media/user/directory/'
for file1 in `ls $destination*.ascii`
do
echo $file1
file2="${file1}.end"
file3="${file1}.snip"
sed -e '16,$d' $file1 > $file2
sed -e '1,15d' $file1 > $file3
done
This worked perfectly, so the next step is the worlds simplest cat command:
cat $file3 $file2 > outfile
However, what I need to do is to stitch file2 to the previous file3. Look at this screenshot of the directory for better understanding.
See how these files are all sequential over time:
*_20090412T235945_20090413T235944_* ### April 13
*_20090413T235945_20090414T235944_* ### April 14
So I need to take the 15 lines snipped off the April 14 example above and paste it to the end of the April 13 example.
This doesn't have to be part of the original code, in fact it would be probably best if it weren't. I was just hoping someone would be able to help me get this going.
Thanks in advance! If there is anything I have been unclear about and needs further explanation please let me know.
"I need to strip the first 15 lines off one file and paste them to the end of the previous file in the sequence."
If I understand what you want correctly, it can be done with one line of code:
awk 'NR==1 || FNR==16{close(f); f=FILENAME ".new"} {print>f}' file1 file2 file3
When this has run, the files file1.new, file2.new, and file3.new will be in the new form with the lines transferred. Of course, you are not limited to three files: you may specify as many as you like on the command line.
Example
To keep our example short, let's just strip the first 2 lines instead of 15. Consider these test files:
$ cat file1
1
2
3
$ cat file2
4
5
6
7
8
$ cat file3
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
Here is the result of running our command:
$ awk 'NR==1 || FNR==3{close(f); f=FILENAME ".new"} {print>f}' file1 file2 file3
$ cat file1.new
1
2
3
4
5
$ cat file2.new
6
7
8
9
10
$ cat file3.new
11
12
13
14
15
As you can see, the first two lines of each file have been transferred to the preceding file.
How it works
awk implicitly reads each file line-by-line. The job of our code is to choose which new file a line should be written to based on its line number. The variable f will contain the name of the file that we are writing to.
NR==1 || FNR==16{f=FILENAME ".new"}
When we are reading the first line of the first file, NR==1, or when we are reading the 16th line of whatever file we are on, FNR==16, we update f to be the name of the current file with .new added to the end.
For the short example, which transferred 2 lines instead of 15, we used the same code but with FNR==16 replaced with FNR==3.
print>f
This prints the current line to file f.
(If this was a shell script, we would use >>. This is not a shell script. This is awk.)
Using a glob to specify the file names
destination='media/user/directory/'
awk 'NR==1 || FNR==16{close(f); f=FILENAME ".new"} {print>f}' "$destination"*.ascii
Your task is not that difficult at all. You want to gather a list of all _end files in the directory (using a for loop and globbing, NOT looping on the results of ls). Once you have all the end files, you simply parse the dates using parameter expansion w/substing removal say into d1 and d2 for date1 and date2 in:
stuff_20090413T235945_20090414T235944_end
| d1 | | d2 |
then you simply subtract 1 from d1 into say date0 or d0 and then construct a previous filename out of d0 and d1 using _snip instead of _end. Then just test for the existence of the previous _snip filename, and if it exists, paste your info from the current _end file to the previous _snip file. e.g.
#!/bin/bash
for i in *end; do ## find all _end files
d1="${i#*stuff_}" ## isolate first date in filename
d1="${d1%%T*}"
d2="${i%T*}" ## isolate second date
d2="${d2##*_}"
d0=$((d1 - 1)) ## subtract 1 from first, get snip d1
prev="${i/$d1/$d0}" ## create previous 'snip' filename
prev="${prev/$d2/$d1}"
prev="${prev%end}snip"
if [ -f "$prev" ] ## test that prev snip file exists
then
printf "paste to : %s\n" "$prev"
printf " from : %s\n\n" "$i"
fi
done

Let me know if you have questions.
You could store the previous $file3 value in a variable (and do a check if it is not the first run with -z check):
#!/bin/bash
destination='media/user/directory/'
prev=""
for file1 in $destination*.ascii
do
echo $file1
file2="${file1}.end"
file3="${file1}.snip"
sed -e '16,$d' $file1 > $file2
sed -e '1,15d' $file1 > $file3
if [ -z "$prev" ]; then
cat $prev $file2 > outfile
fi
prev=$file3
done
I'm trying to write a script to pull the integers out of 4 files that store temperature readings from 4 industrial freezers, this is a hobby script it generates the general readouts I wanted, however when I try to generate a SUM of the temperature readings I get the following printout into the file and my goal is to print the end SUM only not the individual numbers printed out in a vertical format
Any help would be greatly appreciated;here's my code
grep -o "[0.00-9.99]" "/location/$value-1.txt" | awk '{ SUM += $1; print $1} END { print SUM }' >> "/location/$value-1.txt"

It does generate the SUM I don't need the already listed numbers, just the SUM total
Why not stick with AWK completely? Code:
$ cat > summer.awk
{
while(match($0,/[0-9]+\.[0-9]+/)) # while matches on record
{
sum+=substr($0, RSTART, RLENGTH) # extract matches and sum them
$0=substr($0, RSTART + RLENGTH) # reset to start after previous match
count++ # count matches
}
}
END {
print sum"/"count"="sum/count # print stuff
Data:
$ cat > data.txt
Morningtemp:17.28
Noontemp:17.01
Lowtemp:17.00 Hightemp:18.72
Run:
$ awk -f summer.awk file
70.01/4=17.5025
It might work in the winter too.
The regex in grep -o "[0.00-9.99]" "/location/$value-1.txt" is equivalent to [0-9.], but you're probably looking for numbers in the range 0.00 to 9.99. For that, you need a different regex:
grep -o "[0-9]\.[0-9][0-9]" "/location/$value-1.txt"
That looks for a digit, a dot, and two more digits. It was almost tempting to use [.] in place of \.; it would also work. A plain . would not; that would select entries such as 0X87.
Note that the pattern shown ([0-9]\.[0-9][0-9]) will match 192.16.24.231 twice (2.16 and 4.23). If that's not what you want, you have to be a lot more precise. OTOH, it may not matter in the slightest for the actual data you have. If you'd want it to match 192.16 and 24.231 (or .24 and .231), you have to refine your regex.
Your command structure:
grep … filename | awk '…' >> filename
is living dangerously. In the example, it is 'OK' (but there's a huge grimace on my face as I type 'OK') because the awk script doesn't write anything to the file until grep has read it all. But change the >> to > and you have an empty input, or have awk write material before the grep is complete and suddenly it gets very tricky to determine what happens (it depends, in part, on what awk writes to the end of the file).
Okay, I have two files: one is baseline and the other is a generated report. I have to validate a specific string in both the files match, it is not just a single word see example below:
.
.
name os ksd
56633223223
some text..................
some text..................
My search criteria here is to find unique number such as "56633223223" and retrieve above 1 line and below 3 lines, i can do that on both the basefile and the report, and then compare if they match. In whole i need shell script for this.
Since the strings above and below are unique but the line count varies, I had put it in a file called "actlist":
56633223223 1 5
56633223224 1 6
56633223225 1 3
.
.
Now from below "Rcount" I get how many iterations to be performed, and in each iteration i have to get ith row and see if the word count is 3, if it is then take those values into variable form and use something like this
I'm stuck at the below, which command to be used. I'm thinking of using AWK but if there is anything better please advise. Here's some pseudo-code showing what I'm trying to do:
xxxxx=/root/xxx/xxxxxxx
Rcount=`wc -l $xxxxx | awk -F " " '{print $1}'`
i=1
while ((i <= Rcount))
do
record=_________________'(Awk command to retrieve ith(1st) record (of $xxxx),
wcount=_________________'(Awk command to count the number of words in $record)
(( i=i+1 ))
done
Note: record, wcount values are later printed to a log file.
Sounds like you're looking for something like this:
#!/bin/bash
while read -r word1 word2 word3 junk; do
if [[ -n "$word1" && -n "$word2" && -n "$word3" && -z "$junk" ]]; then
echo "all good"
else
echo "error"
fi
done < /root/shravan/actlist
This will go through each line of your input file, assigning the three columns to word1, word2 and word3. The -n tests that read hasn't assigned an empty value to each variable. The -z checks that there are only three columns, so $junk is empty.
I PROMISE you you are going about this all wrong. To find words in file1 and search for those words in file2 and file3 is just:
awk '
NR==FNR{ for (i=1;i<=NF;i++) words[$i]; next }
{ for (word in words) if ($0 ~ word) print FILENAME, word }
' file1 file2 file3
or similar (assuming a simple grep -f file1 file2 file3 isn't adequate). It DOES NOT involve shell loops to call awk to pull out strings to save in shell variables to pass to other shell commands, etc, etc.
So far all you're doing is asking us to help you implement part of what you think is the solution to your problem, but we're struggling to do that because what you're asking for doesn't make sense as part of any kind of reasonable solution to what it sounds like your problem is so it's hard to suggest anything sensible.
If you tells us what you are trying to do AS A WHOLE with sample input and expected output for your whole process then we can help you.
We don't seem to be getting anywhere so let's try a stab at the kind of solution I think you might want and then take it from there.
Look at these 2 files "old" and "new" side by side (line numbers added by the cat -n):
$ paste old new | cat -n
1 a b
2 b 56633223223
3 56633223223 c
4 c d
5 d h
6 e 56633223225
7 f i
8 g Z
9 h k
10 56633223225 l
11 i
12 j
13 k
14 l
Now lets take this "actlist":
$ cat actlist
56633223223 1 2
56633223225 1 3
and run this awk command on all 3 of the above files (yes, I know it could be briefer, more efficient, etc. but favoring simplicity and clarity for now):
$ cat tst.awk
ARGIND==1 {
numPre[$1] = $2
numSuc[$1] = $3
}
ARGIND==2 {
oldLine[FNR] = $0
if ($0 in numPre) {
oldHitFnr[$0] = FNR
}
}
ARGIND==3 {
newLine[FNR] = $0
if ($0 in numPre) {
newHitFnr[$0] = FNR
}
}
END {
for (str in numPre) {
if ( str in oldHitFnr ) {
if ( str in newHitFnr ) {
for (i=-numPre[str]; i<=numSuc[str]; i++) {
oldFnr = oldHitFnr[str] + i
newFnr = newHitFnr[str] + i
if (oldLine[oldFnr] != newLine[newFnr]) {
print str, "mismatch at old line", oldFnr, "new line", newFnr
print "\t" oldLine[oldFnr], "vs", newLine[newFnr]
}
}
}
else {
print str, "is present in old file but not new file"
}
}
else if (str in newHitFnr) {
print str, "is present in new file but not old file"
}
}
}
.
$ awk -f tst.awk actlist old new
56633223225 mismatch at old line 12 new line 8
j vs Z
It's outputing that result because the 2nd line after 56633223225 is j in file "old" but Z in file "new" and the file "actlist" said the 2 files had to be common from one line before until 3 lines after that pattern.
Is that what you're trying to do? The above uses GNU awk for ARGIND but the workaround is trivial for other awks.
Use the below code:
awk '{if (NF == 3) { word1=$1; word2=$2; word3=$3; print "Words are:" word1, word2, word3} else {print "Line", NR, "is having", NF, "Words" }}' filename.txt
I have given the solution as per the requirement.
awk '{ # awk starts from here and read a file line by line
if (NF == 3) # It will check if current line is having 3 fields. NF represents number of fields in current line
{ word1=$1; # If current line is having exact 3 fields then 1st field will be assigned to word1 variable
word2=$2; # 2nd field will be assigned to word2 variable
word3=$3; # 3rd field will be assigned to word3 variable
print word1, word2, word3} # It will print all 3 fields
}' filename.txt >> output.txt # THese 3 fields will be redirected to a file which can be used for further processing.
This is as per the requirement, but there are many other ways of doing this but it was asked using awk.
