AWK command usage summary

awk's most basic function is to browse and extract information based on specified rules in files or strings. It is used to divide a line into several "fields" for processing. Suitable for processing small data.

Example:

Cat /etc/passwd | awk '{FS=":"}$3

execution method, such as:

awk [-Field-separator] 'commands' input-file(s)

here commands Is the real awk command, [-F domain separator] is optional, awk uses spaces to separate by default, so if you want to browse text with spaces between fields, you do not need to specify this option, but if you browse a file such as passwd, this file will If the domain uses a colon as a separator, you must use the -F option: awk -F : 'commands' input-file

When awk is executed, its browsing marks are $1, $2...$n, this method is called Label the domain. Use $1 and $3 to refer to the 1st and 3rd fields. Note that commas are used to separate the fields, and $0 means to use all fields. For example:

awk '{print $0}' temp.txt > sav.txt

means to print all fields and redirect the results to sav.txt

awk '{print $0}' temp.txt | tee sav.txt

Similar to the above example, the difference is that it will be displayed on the screen

awk '{print $1,$4}' temp.txt

Only print out the first 1 and 4th domain

awk 'BEGIN {print "NAME GRADEn----"} {print $1"t"$4}' temp.txt

means to enter the header, that is, input Add "NAME GRADEn-------------" before the first line of the content, and separate the content with tabs

awk 'BEGIN {print "being"} {print $1} END {print "end"}' temp

Print the information header and information tail at the same time

Conditional operator:

 =, ~ matches regular expressions, !~ does not match regular expressions

Matching: awk '{if ($4~/ASIMA/) print $0}' temp means that if the fourth field contains ASIMA, then Print the entire

Exact match: awk '$3=="48" {print $0}' temp Only print the record where the 3rd field is equal to "48"

Mismatch: awk '$0 !~ /ASIMA/ ' temp Print the entire record excluding ASIMA

Not equal to: awk '$1 != "asima"' temp

Less than: awk '{if ($1

Set case: awk '/[Gg]reen/' temp Print the entire record containing Green, or green

Any character: awk '$1 ~/^...a/' temp Print the record in which the fourth character in the first field is a. The symbol '^' represents the beginning of the line, and '.' represents any character

or relational matching: awk '$0~/(abc)|(efg)/ ' temp When using |, the statement needs to be enclosed

AND and relationship: awk '{if ( $1=="a" && $2=="b" ) print $0}' temp

OR or relationship: awk '{if ($1=="a" || $1=="b") print $0}' temp

awk built-in variables:

Example: awk 'END {print NR}' temp in Finally print the number of read records

awk '{print NF, NR, $0} END {print FILENAME}' temp

awk '{if (NR>0 && $4~/Brown/) print $0} ' temp There is at least one record and contains Brown

Another usage of NF: echo $PWD | awk -F/ '{print $NF}' Display the current directory name

Running mode: awk 'Condition type 1 {action 1} condition type 2 {action 2} ...' filename

# last | awk '{print $1 "t" $3}'

NF The total number of fields in each row ($0)

NR What row of data is currently processed by awk

FS specifies the separator, the default is a space bar
