Reformatting help with sed or awk

mjmwired · 06-08-2006, 08:44 AM

Simple question for the scripting guru's. I need to reformat the following output, could someone suggest how to do this with sed or awk or some other scripting tool?

From:

Code:

compiler:"C:\dir\filename.c"line 123: error: undeclared symbol 'temp'

To:

Code:

C:\dir\filename.c(123) : error : undeclared symbol 'temp'

Thanks.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w


while (<>) {
    next unless /error/;

    ($file, $line, $rest) = /"(.*)"\w*line (\d+)(.*)/;
    print "$file($line) $rest";
    print "\n";

}

Thanks but I'm using a limited platform with a limited gnu utils and no perl.

Code:

sed -e 's/^compiler:"\([^"]*\)" *line \([0-9]*\):\(.*\)$/\1(\2) : \3/'

Thanks!! It did the trick.

Works perfect in Linux and Cygwin. To get it to work in Windows cmd shell, I placed the contents into 'conv.sed' and ran:
$ sed -f conv.sed input.txt
