Add double quotes around fields in AWK script output? - linux

I have written an awk script that converts a distributor flatfile into a CSV importable into Magento. This file is semi-colon delimited.
It is not putting quotes around each field like the importer requires. It works fairly well, but is causing some issues on the data import without the enclosing double quotes. I spent a couple hours trying to figure out how to add this to the existing script, without much luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated - I am pretty new to AWK.
Current Output

If you want:
add this to the existing script.
You can insert additional \"\" in each argument of print like this:
print "\"admin\"", "\"base\"", ...
Edited:
Yes, perhaps seting OFS is better solution:
BEGIN { OFS="\";\""; } ... print "\"admin", ...., "simple\"";

awk '{for (i=1;i<=NF;i++) $i="\""$i"\""}1' FS=";" OFS=";" input

To add quotes around the entries you could use a simple AWK loop:
Script - simple_loop.awk
BEGIN {FS=";"}
{
for(i=1;i<NF;i++){
printf("\"%s\";", $i);
}
printf("\"%s\"\n",$NF);
}
For instance
echo "admin;base;5.11 HOLSTER SHIRT L WHITE;;" | awk -f simple_loop.awk
Should output
"admin";"base";"5.11 HOLSTER SHIRT L WHITE";"";""

In this case I would use a sed expression instead of AWK.
If your data is in a file called data.txt, you can get it writing:
sed "s/;/\";\"/g;s/^/\"/;s/$/\"/" data.txt
That will print the result to the std output, but if you want to replace the content of the file just use sed -i this way:
sed -i "s/;/\";\"/g;s/^/\"/;s/$/\"/" data.txt
And that is all !!
Explanation:
The sed expression consists in three sed commands separated by ";" that you can run separately:
sed "s/;/\";\"/g
It makes a substitution (that is what means the first "s"), then the "/" (the default separator), ";" that is what we want to replace. Then the second separator "/", and the replacement: \";\" It is a sequence: escaped quote, a semicolon and a escaped quote. So with this command we will replace semicolons ; by ";". The last /g means that each ; will be replaced (not only the first smicolon).
If the input was a;b;c after this running the first command it will be a";"b";"c.
Now we need to add quotes in the beginning (^ in a regular expression) and in the end ($). So that is what it means:
sed "s/^/\"/" // the first quote
And
sed "s/$/\"/" // the last quote
Getting the desired output:
"a";"b";"c"

Let me refactor your program a bit:
/#!/bin/awk -f
BEGIN {
FS=";";
OFS="\";\"";

URLKEY="urlkeyfail";
URLPATH="urlpathfail";

In my opinion, we could use printf (formated output) and double quote is obtain with \" into format string.
e.g.
gawk 'BEGIN{print "WKT,punto";}{printf "\"LINESTRING Z (%f %f 0,%f %f 0)\",\"%d"\n",$3,$2,$4,$5,$1}' Frecce_geoloc_12-24.txt

How to delete a block of text in a file Shell Script?

I have the following scenario I have a block of text and example
basketball:
ball: round
being that I don't know exactly what's inside basketball: but I like to delete everything inside it example:
men:
height: 170
athlete: basketball
women:
height:180
athlete: basketball
I want to delete only the men block ignoring whatever is above or below this key
The AWK script filter.awk below removes all men sections which contains basketball. Is that what you mean? Run with awk -f filter.awk input.txt.
/^[A-Za-z0-9]/ {
if (sectionWanted) {
printf "%s", section
}
sectionWanted = 1
section = ""
sectionName = $1
}
/basketball/ && sectionName == "men:" {
sectionWanted = 0
}
{
section = section $0 "\n"
}
END {
if (sectionWanted) {
printf "%s", section
}
}

printf statement with multiple arguments

I am trying to print display data in a tabular format with multiple headers. I am using the following printf statement:
System.out.format("%-15s %-15s %-25s %-15s %-20s %s %n", "Id", "name", "Mode", "Total weight", "Arrival loc", "Departure loc");
But that generates the following error:
Method format in the type PrintStream is not applicable for the arguments (String, String, String, String, String, String)
What could the possible solution to print this statement with formatting?
can you post full code. Because the System.out.format("%-15s %-15s %-25s %-15s %-20s %s %n", "Id", "name", "Mode", "Total weight", "Arrival loc", "Departure loc"); works fine for me.enter image description here

Alter output using exported Excel/CSV data if null values are found within 'foreach'

Sorry I wasn't quite sure how to word the question.
This is a follow-on from a previous question here: Take Excel cell content and place it into a formatted .txt file
The Import-XLS function I'm using is from here:
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/17bcabe7-322a-43d3-9a27-f3f96618c74b
My current code looks like this:
. .\Import-XLS.ps1
$OutFile = ".\OutTest$(get-date -Format dd-MM).txt"
$Content = Import-XLS '.\DummyData.xlsx'
$Content | foreach-object{
$field1 = $("{0},{1},{2},{3},{4},{5},{6}" -f "Field1", $_."Value1", $_."Value2", $_."Value3", $_."Value4", $_."Value5", $_."Value6")
$field1.Split(",",[System.StringSplitOptions]::RemoveEmptyEntries) -join ","
$field2 = $("{0},{1}" -f "Field2", $_."Value1")
$field2.Split(",",[System.StringSplitOptions]::RemoveEmptyEntries) -join ","
} | Out-File $OutFile
My Dummydata is essentially this (I've inserted $null to point out the blank values)
Entries Value1 Value2 Value3 Value4 Value5 Value6 Value7 Value8
Entry 1 1 2 $null 4 5 6 7 8
Entry 2 $null B A B A B A B
So I've managed to have the code 'ignore/skip' a null value within a set.
My output looks like this
Field1,1,2,4,5,6
Field2,1
Field1,B,A,B,A,B
Field2
What I would like help with now is how to either remove "Field2" because it has no value, or comment it out using ;.
So my output would look like
Field1,1,2,4,5,6
Field2,1
Field1,B,A,B,A,B
or
Field1,1,2,4,5,6
Field2,1
Field1,B,A,B,A,B
;Field2
Essentially, if a row has no data in any of it's fields that are being written for that line, it should be ignored.
Thanks SO MUCH for your help.
EDIT:
I've discovered I need to remove the comma "," between the {0},{1} and use a space instead. So I'm using
$field2 = $("{0} {1}" -f "Field 2", $_."Value1")
$field2 = $field2.Split(" ",[System.StringSplitOptions]::RemoveEmptyEntries)
if ( $field2.Count -le 1) { ";$field2" } else { $field2 -join "`t`t" }
Which works for 'most' of my fields.
However there are 'some' Fields and Values that have spaces in them.
Additionally there some values like "TEST TEXT"
So now I'm getting
Field1 3,B,A,B,A,B
Field 2 TEST TEXT
Instead of (quotes for clarity)
"Field1" 3,B,A,B,A,B
"Field 2" "TEST TEXT"
I'm happy to just use some kind of exception only for these few fields.
I've tried a few other things, but I end up breaking the IF statement, and it ;comments out fields with values, or doesn't ;comment out fields with no values.
Next code snippet could help:
### … … … ###
$Content | foreach-object{
$field1 = $("{0},{1},{2},{3},{4},{5},{6}" -f "Field1", $_."Value1", $_."Value2", $_."Value3", $_."Value4", $_."Value5", $_."Value6")
$auxarr = $field1.Split(",",[System.StringSplitOptions]::RemoveEmptyEntries)
if ( $auxarr.Count -le 1) { ";$auxarr" } else { $auxarr -join "," }
$field2 = $("{0},{1}" -f "Field2", $_."Value1")
$auxarr = $field2.Split(",",[System.StringSplitOptions]::RemoveEmptyEntries)
if ( $auxarr.Count -le 1) { ";$auxarr" } else { $auxarr -join "," }
} | Out-File $OutFile
Edit to answer additional (extending) subquestion I need to remove the comma "," between the {0},{1} and use a space instead:
$field2 = $("{0},{1}" -f "Field 2", $_."Value1")
### keep comma ↑ ↓ or any other character not contained in data
$field2 = $field2.Split(",",[System.StringSplitOptions]::RemoveEmptyEntries)
if ( $field2.Count -le 1) { ";$field2" } else { $field2 -join "`t`t" }
If your data contain a significant comma then use Split(String(), StringSplitOptions) form of String.Split Method e.g. as follows:
$burstr = [string[]]'#-#-#'
$field2 = $("{0}$burstr{1}" -f "Field 2", $_."Value1")
$field2 = $field2.Split($burstr,[System.StringSplitOptions]::RemoveEmptyEntries)
if ( $field2.Count -le 1) { ";$field2" } else { $field2 -join "`t`t" }

Compare string and join value into one field in bash shell

I'm writing a script to modify csv file
Here's my csv file:
"ID", "Subject" , "Channels", "Description"
"24" , "Bind-0.9.3" , "Linux", "BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation of the DNS (Domain Name System) protocols"
"24" , "Bind-0.9.3", "Fedora", "BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation of the DNS (Domain Name System) protocols"
"25" , "Tar-8.0.1" , "Debian", "Tar Package"
"25" , "Tar-8.0.1", "Ubuntu" , "Tar Package"
Now, I want to compare "ID" value . If they are same value, could we join "Channels" into one field
Here's expected result:
"ID", "Subject" , "Channels", "Description"
"24" , "Bind-0.9.3" , "Linux , Fedora", "BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation of the DNS (Domain Name System) protocols"
"25" , "Tar-8.0.1" , "Debian , Ubuntu", "Tar Package"
Does anyone have an idea using awk, sed or something else in my case ?

This might work for you (GNU sed):
sed -r ':a;$!N;s/^("[0-9]*")\s*,\s*"[^"]*"\s*,\s*"([^"]*)".*\n(\1\s*,\s*"[^"]*"\s*,\s*")/\3\2,/;ta;P;D' file
Keep a running window of 2 lines in the pattern space and if the beginning of the those lines are the same combine the channels into the second line, remove the first line and repeat.
N.B. the headers will be untouched as they do not fullfill the required pattern.

How to do something like this in linux shell script

I have a shell script that is doing something.I want to print the Unknown string where there is blank space in the output.
I want to do check if (f[1] == "") or (f[2] == "") or (f[3] == ""), it should be replaced by a unknown string and should be written in a single file
if(f[1] == "") printf(fmt, id, f[1], f[2], f[3]) > file
where f[1],f[2],f[3] if empty should be replaced by unknown string
where f[1] is the first index, fmt is the format specifier I have defined in the code.How to replace these empty spaces with a string in Linux.
Any lead is appreciated.
Thanks
Use the conditional operator:
ec2-describe-instances | awk -F'\t' -v of="$out" -v mof="$file" '
function pr() { # Print accumulated data
if(id != "") { # Skip if we do not have any unprinted data.
printf(fmt, id, f[1], f[2], f[3]) > of
if (f[1] == "" || f[2] == "" || f[3] == "") {
printf(fmt, id, f[1]==""?"Unknown":f[1], f[2]==""?"Unknown":f[2], f[3]==""?"Unknown":f[3]) > mof
}
}
# Clear accumulated data.
id = f[1] = f[2] = f[3] = ""
}
BEGIN { # Set the printf() format string for the header and the data lines.
fmt = "%-20s %-40s %-33s %s\n"
# Print the header
headerText="Instance Details"
headerMaxLen=100
padding=(length(headerText) - headerMaxLen) / 2
printf("%" padding "s" "%s" "%" padding "s" "\n\n\n", "", headerText, "") > of
printf(fmt, "Instance id", "Name", "Owner", "Cost.centre") > of
printf("%" padding "s" "%s" "%" padding "s" "\n\n\n", "", headerText, "") > mof
printf(fmt, "Instance id", "Name", "Owner", "Cost.centre") > mof
}
$1 == "TAG" {
# Save the Instance ID.
id = $3
if($4 ~ /[Nn]ame/) fs = 1 # Name found
else if($4 ~ /[Oo]wner/) fs = 2 # Owner found
else if($4 ~ /[Cc]ost.[Cc]ent[er][er]/) fs = 3 # Cost center found
else next # Ignore other TAGs
f[fs] = $5 # Save data for this field.
}
$1 == "RESERVATION" {
# First line of new entry found; print results from previous entry.
pr()
}
END { # EOF found, print results from last entry.
pr()
}'
