[SGVLUG] awk question

[matti]

HI Ramsin,

OK, 

1st, awk can handle ALL of the operations you
are attempting to do.

while I don't have time to present the code,
I would search the net for awk tutorials/examples
which do similar operations.

>   cut -f 2  file1.tmp | grep "DB" | awk ' {print $0} ' | cut -f 1-2
> d, > tables_list.tmp
>    
>   then tables_list file has:
>    
>   "4","STUDENT TABLE"
>   "5","TEACHER TABLE"
>    
>   Then I use sed command to remove double quotes and ...
>    
>   Now. when I use awk is my script instead of replacing $0 with a
> line from the text file it replaces it with script name. I need to
> override this.

hmm.. ok, so in this case it is not reading
your $0 as the entire line .. instead it 
thinks it's the variable for the script...

hmmm.. dang, dont have access to a unix box right now.

anyone?
