#AWK question
5 messages in this thread
Anybody take an AT&T7300 question? Assume the following command:
awk '/FLTHOSP5/ /\t6510-/ ' /usr/neuro |tee /dev/tty |cat -u>>list
Is "\t6510-" the correct way to specify a field that begins with "6510-"
immediately following a tabstop field delimiter? I'm trying to avoid
finding "6510-" preceded by characters and then a space, which could occur
in differing ways in another field.
I would ask this in the unix forum, but they sneer at 7300's 🙂
Thanks, Rob.
I've seen "them" answer 7300 questions before. In any event, this is awk
specific. Anyway, the /\t6510-/ is just fine.
Maybe I read too much into what seems like unhelpful commentary in that
forum. Thanks for your reply.
That appears correct, but then I don't use awk all that much. None the
less, it follow the basic rules of regular expressions.

I got a copy of "The AWK Programming Language" by A, K, and W themselves
today. Many things are already clearer. 🙂
