shell: positional parameters...

neidias · 04-04-2005, 01:47 PM

Hi

I need to display the sequential number of a word in a file.
Example

# cat test_file
orange Gremio Linux Gates Brazil
#

In this case, Orange is 1, Gremio is 2, Linux 3 etc....

other file...

# cat test_file2
Gremio Samba Bush orange Brazil
#

Now Gremio is 1, Samba is 2, Bush is 3 etc...

I'm trying to read a line, set the first word after other specific word like an argument.
In examples above, Gremio is the specific word.
In first file the word "Linux" is parameter;
In the second the word "Samba" is parameters;

tanks for any kind of help...

try awk like this:

Code:

   
   awk '
   {
       i=1
       while( $i != "Gremio") 
       {
           i++;
       }  
       shift = i
       i++;       
       while(i< NF)
       {
          print i-shift, $i;
          i++;
       }
   }  '  test_file
