Why not use something better suited to this sort of thing? Perl perhaps?

kshkid · 04-10-2007, 05:36 AM

Code:

echo "ID=123:one=a:two=a@yahoo.com:three=789:four=:five=123"   |awk -F"=" '{ for( i=2; i<=NF; i+=2 ) { print $i } }'

Are you reading the output from a file or is your code producing that and you need to read it and then convert. Either way you could use strtok function to strip and then strchr to find the data after =

So can you write C? If so read input until you reach an = then copy the input back onto standardout until you reach a :, and print a newling when you reach it. I don't think many people will write it for you, but if i've understood thats all what you have to do.

Or maybe use strsep(),but read the manpage carefully.

I'm not writing it :0)

I hate parsin strings in C.

Shouldn't be too hard though if you apply yourself.

Code:

char *response="LIST=SUCCESS:ID=123:one=a:two=a@yahoo.com:three=:four=456:five=666\nID=123:one=aa:two=aa@yahoo.com:three=22222222:four=:five=0000000000\n:/";

there is an extra ":" in first line so,
the first "five"(i.e. 666) is not printing.

can you please help me in this way

thank you in advance

try this one!

Code:

echo "ID=123:one=a:two=a@yahoo.com:three=789:four=:five=123" | sed 's/\(.*=\)\(.*\):\(.*=\)\(.*\):\(.*=\)\(.*\):\(.*=\)\(.*\):.*$/\/\/begin\
\2\
\4\
\6/'

What about some shell scripting? (ok, no C/C++ today).

Code:

#!/bin/bash
# reads from "file" and outputs to "file2"

exec 6>&1 ; exec > file2 
IFS=":"
while read line ; do
		# assigning with <<< seems to have portability problems.
		# read -r -a line_array <<< "${line}"
	line_array=( ${line} )
	echo '//begin'
	eval ${line_array[*]}
	for number in one two three four five ; do
		eval echo "$"$number
	done
done < file
        # maybe an additional...
        echo '//begin'
exec 1>&6 6>&-

I exactly made use of your sample output to arrive at the command required and that is what I had provided.

Am sorry that it is not clear!
Could you please post,
the exact output as how it is needed against a sample input ?
