Hi friends,
I'm having a bit of a problem using shell variable in an awk if statement.
Please note that i'm using -v option as listed in many forums but I still don't get it working. Here's my code. Kindly help as I've gone crazy trying to work this out :wall:
#!/bin/bash -xv
fnStats()
{
modes=("${!1}")
services=("${!2}")
dates=("${!3}")
prices=("${!4}")
for (( i = 0 ; i < ${#dates[@]} ; i++ )) do
echo "${dates[$i]}" > /home/sm_stats.txt
for (( j = 0 ; j < ${#services[@]} ; j++ )) do
for (( k = 0 ; k < ${#modes[@]} ; k++ )) do
for (( l = 0 ; l < ${#prices[@]} ; l++ )) do
a=$(grep "CHG=1,${prices[$l]}" TLOG_BILLING_REALTIME_${dates[$i]}* | awk -v s="${services[$j]}" -v m="${modes[$k]}" 'BEGIN {FS = "|"} {if($8=="A" && $7==s && $11==m) print $4}' | wc -l)
echo -n "$a," >> /home/sm_stats.txt
#echo "${dates[$i]} ${services[$j]} ${modes[$k]} ${prices[$l]} $a"
#echo "TLOG_BILLING_REALTIME_${dates[$i]}*"
done
done
done
done
}
cd /SUBMGR/Tomcat/logs/TLOG/BILLING_REALTIME
modes=(OBD VP WEB SMS PRESSSTAR)
services=(RBT_ACT_DEFAULT RBT_ACT_COPY RBT_ACT_GIFT)
prices=(5.0 2.5 1.0)
dates=(20120529)
fnStats modes[@] services[@] dates[@] prices[@]
In the code, i'm trying to get values from different loops and substituting it in the awk part of the code.
Infact, i turned on the debug option of bash and could see the below output when it was executing that particular line of code.
grep "CHG=1,${prices[$l]}" TLOG_BILLING_REALTIME_${dates[$i]}* | awk -v s="${services[$j]}" -v m="${modes[$k]}" 'BEGIN {FS = "|"} {if($8=="A" && $7==s && $11==m) print $4}' | wc -l
++ awk -v s=RBT_ACT_GIFT -v m=PRESSSTAR 'BEGIN {FS = "|"} {if($8=="A" && $7==s && $11==m) print $4}'
++ wc -l
++ grep CHG=1,1.0 TLOG_BILLING_REALTIME_20120529_000000..log
As you see above, it substitutes the corresponding loop variable value in the first part of the statement, but doesn't do so in the "if" condition!
I am suspecting the single quote before 'BEGIN' which i think needs to be escaped. But i've tried that only to get a syntax error
