sed command

titopoquito · 11-29-2005, 01:14 PM

A side question: The task could here be solved by replacing the 38th and 39th char with a ?. Can this be done with sed or another command? Reading in the sed oneliners I see only solutions for lines, for example print line 7 until 9, but not one for characters within a line, defined by their absolute position.

Is this what you're after?

Code:

awk '{sub(/^../,"??", $3); print}' timefile.txt

Cheers,

Hi All,

This is New thread. It's not related to previous one.

My Question is:

I have a table called "asproduced" table. In the asproduced table, I have two fileds like "VALID_LINES" and "numberofpaylines"

My table look like this

VALID_LINES numberofpaylines
1 3 5 7 9 9
1 5 10 15 15
1 2 3 3
1 1
1 5 10 15 20 20

My question is: I have to find the Max Number in the VALID_LINES FILED AND PUT IT INTO THE numberofpaylines field.

It would be polite to let people know if any of the solutions posted were of any help.
Also, this is starting to look abit like homework.

Man ... you need to learn to think clearly before posting
a question... define what constitutes a valid line, and
what a payline might be. Is this going to be another back
and forth between the two of us for 5 posts each until you
finally tell us what you actually want?

Cheers,
Tink

I am sorry, It's not related to the sed command.

VALID_LINES numberofpaylines
1 3 5 7 9 9
1 5 10 15 15
1 2 3 3
1 1
1 5 10 15 20 20

Table is not look good

VALID_LINES = 1 3 5 7 9 noofpaylines should be = 9
VALID_LINES = 1 5 10 15 noofpaylines should be = 15
VALID_LINES = 1 2 3 noofpaylines should be = 3

You have posted a significant number of messages that have left us very confused.......
For one thing, you just posted something that you said was anew thread, but it was posted as a reply to the old one. To make a new thread, you have to click on the button that says...............NEW THREAD!!

Out of curiousity, several of us have suggested that you read some tutorials on utilities such as sed and awk. What have you read??

VALID_LINES = 1 2 3 noofpaylines should be = 3

*sigh*

Now, in (whatever that was an example of, be it the table,
the desired output or some attempt to be descriptive) the
above, is noofpaylines supposed to be the last element on
the line, or the highest figure? And what is the purpose
of the
VALID_LINES =
?

Kalyani1 · 12-06-2005, 07:09 PM

I have to find the Highest figure.

I am working one of the gaming comapny. we have a slot machines. Valid lines are betlines

Tinkster · 12-06-2005, 08:40 PM

Try to tackle it from there ...

Code:

awk '{for(i=2;i<=NF;i++){array[i]=$i};print array[asort(array)];delete array}' highest.txt

or

Code:

awk '{highest=0;for(i=2;i<=NF;i++){if($i>=highest)highest=$i};print highest}' highest.txt

Cheers,
Tink

Hi Tink,

Thank you so much. It's almost working fine, but in the valid_lines filed first line is not taking
For eg: VALID_LINES=1
VALID_LINES=1 3 5 7 9
VALID_LINES=1 2 3 4 5

I changed i=1 instead of i=2

Tinkster · 12-07-2005, 11:23 AM

You mean "first column"? Anyway, glad I got you started ;}
and you REALLY should learn the ropes, mate. Or have somebody
else with some programming knowledge at your workplace do
these things.

Cheers,
Tink

Glad to hear you are making progress---how about the answer to my question?
