I have this in a file

[server.domain.com]
11.22.33.44
yyyyyyuser

With awk/sed, I need this to be output as follows

alias server.domain.com='ssh yyyyyyuser@11.22.33.44'

anil510,
Check this out:

$ cat file |sed 's/\[//g;s/\]//g'|xargs|while read a b c;do printf "alias $a=\'ssh $c@$b\'\n";done
alias server.domain.com='ssh yyyyyyuser@11.22.33.44'

Enjoy!,

Try also

awk '{gsub (/[][]/,""); print "alias "$1"=\047ssh "$3"@"$2"\047"}' RS="" file
alias server.domain.com='ssh yyyyyyuser@11.22.33.44'

Rudic, it works.

rveri, Your solution works if there only one server.

Using Perl, file022 :

[server.domain.com]
11.22.33.44
yyyyyyuser
[server2.domain.com]
55.66.77.88
zzzzzzuser

program file022.pl :

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my $cur_dir = $ENV{PWD};
my $filename = "$cur_dir/$ARGV[0]";
my ($record,$srv,$ip);
my $cpt=1;

open(FILEIN,"<$filename") or die"open: $!";
while( defined( $record = <FILEIN> ) ) {
  chomp $record;

  if($cpt == 1) {
    ($srv) = $record =~ m/(\w+\.\w+\.\w+)/ ;
  }
  elsif($cpt == 2) {
    $ip=$record;
  }
  else {
    print "alias $srv='ssh $record\@$ip'\n";
  }

  $cpt++;
  $cpt=1 if($cpt == 4);
}
close(FILEIN);

execution :

%./file022.pl file022
alias server.domain.com='ssh yyyyyyuser@11.22.33.44'
alias server2.domain.com='ssh zzzzzzuser@55.66.77.88'
