Unix Commands Help Please!

Hey everyone.

I need to perform a certain task that I have some idea of how to do but not much.

Thanks, Chris

Although it does sound like a homework assignment....
Here's something to start with:

nawk -f cvb.awk myTextFile.txt

cvb.awk:

BEGIN {
  PAT_vowel="(a|e|i|o|u|y)"
  PAT_alpha="[a-z]"
}

tolower($1) ~ ("^" PAT_vowel) && tolower(substr($1, length($1))) ~ PAT_alpha && tolower(substr($1, length($1))) !~ PAT_vowel && $2 > 9999

ya well it is hw but our teacher doesnt teach so i have to learn everything myself :smiley:

thanks a lot!

yeah, well then... I didn't see you making an attempt at doing so yourself!

Also make sure you read the rules of these forums.
