In the awk
I am splitting on the :
into array a, then splitting on the -
into element b. I can not seem to duplicate b[1]
if there is no -
after it. Lines 1,2,4 are examples. If there is a -
after the number in b[1]
then the value to the right of it is $3
in the ouput. Thank you :).
awk '{split($0,a,":"); split(a[2],b,"-");print a[1],b[1],b[2]}' file

Also tried:
awk
awk -F: '{
split($0,a,"-");
print (a[1],a[2],a[3]);
}'
