Combination awk and rename

Hello,
i wondering if anybody can help me with the following:

doing a search for the words "Sample ID:" in a file called test.txt
and I need to have the string after this (Postmatch)
Then I want that the string is used to rename an other file called test.pdf into .... the string.pdf

I already tried some thing but still with errors

 
awk '/Sample ID:/ { printf "mv test.pdf $3.pdf\n" ,$3,$3 >>"sampleID.txt

The following is working:

awk '/Sample ID:/ { print $3 }' sampleID.txt

and is printing the correct string that I need

If you think it is easier to do it in perl or python, I am fine with this as well to learn/adapt.

Many thanks for all your help

Kindly regards
Koen

Show some sample input please.

Hello,
First of all thanks for the very quick reply, here is an extract of the SampleID.txt file:

LIEGE
Name: XXXXXX
ID: 123456789
Gender: F
Sample ID: 123456789A1
Sample Type: Serum
Dilution Factor: 1
Priority: Routine

I think you can do something lke

awk '/Sample ID/ { print "echo mv test.pdf "$3".pdf"); }' sampleid.txt | sh

Remove the echo once you're sure it does what you want.

Thanks a lot,
We are almost there, the only minor thing is that the script is putting an ? before .pdf
110715516102?.pdf instead of 110715516102.pdf

Thanks,
Koen

Your file is full of carriage returns, probably generated by MS Windows.

awk '/Sample ID/ { sub(/\r/,""); print "echo mv test.pdf "$3".pdf"); }' sampleid.txt | sh

Thanks a lot
You made my script working..
Last and simple question,
Can I add multiple codes with awk in the same bash ?

Reason for asking is that I will have different lookups ?

THANKS !!!
Koen

I don't understand the question. If you showed the input you have and the output you wanted from it, that would be very helpful.

It is okay like this,
I need to thank you very much for the quick answers..

My script is working now..

Kindly regards
