I have a file formatted as follows:
string1,string2,string3,...
...
I have to analyze the second column, counting the occurrences of each string, and producing a file formatted as follows:
"number of occurrences of x",x
"number of occurrences of y",y
...
I managed to write the following script, that works fine:
#!/bin/bash
> output
regExp='^\s*([0-9]+) (.+)$'
while IFS= read -r line
do
if [[ "$line" =~ $regExp ]]
then
printf "${BASH_REMATCH[1]},${BASH_REMATCH[2]}\n" >> output
fi
done <<< "`gawk -F , '!/^$/ {print $2}' $1 | sort | uniq -c`"
My question is:
There is a better and simpler way to do the job?
In particular I don't know how to fix that:
gawk -F , '!/^$/ {print $2}' miocsv.csv | sort | uniq -c | gawk '{print $1","$2}'
The problem is that string2 can contain whitespaces and, if so, the second call on gawk will truncate the string.
Neither i know how to print all the field "from 2 to NF", maintaining the delimiter, which can occur several times in succession.
Thank very much,
Goodbye

A one-liner in awk:
awk -F, 'x[$2]++ { } END { for (i in x) print x[i] "," i }' input.csv
It stores the count for each 2nd column string in the associative array x, and in the end loops through the array and prints the results.
To get the exact output you showed for this example, you need to pipe it to sort(1), setting the field delimiter to , and the sort key to the 2nd field:
awk -F, 'x[$2]++ { } END { for (i in x) print x[i] "," i }' input.csv | sort -t, -k2,2
The only condition, of course, is that the 2nd column of each line doesn't contain a ,
You can make your final awk:
gawk '{ sub(" *","",$0); sub(" ",",",$0); print }'
or use sed for this sort of thing:
sed 's/ *\([0-9]*\) /\1,/'
Here is a Perl one-liner, similar to Filipe's awk solution:
perl -F, -lane '$x{$F[1]}++; END{ for $i (sort keys %x) { print "$x{$i},$i" } }' input.csv
The output is sorted alphabetically according to the second column.
The #F autosplit array starts at index $F[0] while awk fields start with $1

Using awk or sed in a bash script, I need to remove comma separated delimiters that are located between an inner and outer delimiter. The problem is that wrong values ends up in the wrong columns, where only 3 columns are desired.
For example, I want to turn this:
2020/11/04,Test Account,569.00
2020/11/05,Test,Account,250.00
2020/11/05,More,Test,Accounts,225.00
Into this:
2020/11/04,Test Account,569.00
2020/11/05,Test Account,250.00
2020/11/05,More Test Accounts,225.00
I've tried to use a few things, testing regex:
But I cannot find a solution to only select the commas in order to remove.
awk -F, '{ printf "%s,",$1;for (i=2;i<=NF-2;i++) { printf "%s ",$i };printf "%s,%s\n",$(NF-1),$NF }' file
Using awk, print the first comma delimited field and then loop through the rest of the field up to the last but 2 field printing the field followed by a space. Then for the last 2 fields print the last but one field, a comma and then the last field.
With GNU awk for the 3rd arg to match():
$ awk -v OFS=, '{
match($0,/([^,]*),(.*),([^,]*)/,a)
gsub(/,/," ",a[2])
print a[1], a[2], a[3]
}' file
2020/11/04,Test Account,569.00
2020/11/05,Test Account,250.00
2020/11/05,More Test Accounts,225.00
or with any awk:
$ awk '
BEGIN { FS=OFS="," }
{
n = split($0,a)
gsub(/^[^,]*,|,[^,]*$/,"")
gsub(/,/," ")
print a[1], $0, a[n]
}
' file
2020/11/04,Test Account,569.00
2020/11/05,Test Account,250.00
2020/11/05,More Test Accounts,225.00
Use this Perl one-liner:
perl -F',' -lane 'print join ",", $F[0], "#F[1 .. ($#F-1)]", $F[-1];' in.csv
The Perl one-liner uses these command line flags:
-e : Tells Perl to look for code in-line, instead of in a file.
-n : Loop over the input one line at a time, assigning it to $_ by default.
-l : Strip the input line separator ("\n" on *NIX by default) before executing the code in-line, and append it when printing.
-a : Split $_ into array #F on whitespace or on the regex specified in -F option.
-F',' : Split into #F on comma, rather than on whitespace.
$F[0] : first element of the array #F (= first comma-delimited value).
$F[-1] : last element of #F.
#F[1 .. ($#F-1)] : elements of #F between the second from the start and the second from the end, inclusive.
"#F[1 .. ($#F-1)]" : the above elements, joined on blanks into a string.
join ",", ... : join the LIST "..." on a comma, and return the resulting string.

awk doesn't support look arounds, we could have it by using match function of awk; using that could you please try following, written and tested with shown samples in GNU awk.
awk '
match($0,/,.*,/){
val=substr($0,RSTART+1,RLENGTH-2)
gsub(/,/," ",val)
print substr($0,1,RSTART) val substr($0,RSTART+RLENGTH-1)
}
' Input_file
Yet another perl
$ perl -pe 's/(?:^[^,]*,|,[^,]*$)(*SKIP)(*F)|,/ /g' ip.txt
2020/11/04,Test Account,569.00
2020/11/05,Test Account,250.00
2020/11/05,More Test Accounts,225.00
(?:^[^,]*,|,[^,]*$) matches first/last field along with the comma character
(*SKIP)(*F) this would prevent modification of preceding regexp
|, provide , as alternate regexp to be matched for modification
With sed (assuming \n is supported by the implementation, otherwise, you'll have to find a character that cannot be present in the input)
sed -E 's/,/\n/; s/,([^,]*)$/\n\1/; y/,/ /; y/\n/,/'
s/,/\n/; s/,([^,]*)$/\n\1/ replace first and last comma with newline character
y/,/ / replace all comma with space
y/\n/,/ change newlines back to comma
A similar answer to Timur's, in awk
awk '
BEGIN { FS = OFS = "," }
function join(start, stop, sep, str, i) {
str = $start
for (i = start + 1; i <= stop; i++) {
str = str sep $i
}
return str
}
{ print $1, join(2, NF-1, " "), $NF }
' file.csv
It's a shame awk doesn't ship with a join function builtin
How do i replace second dot after comma.
this is the closest i could go
echo '0.592922148,0.821504176,1.174.129.731' | xargs -d ',' -n1 echo | sed 's/\([^\.]*\.[^\.]*\)\./\1/' | sed 's/\([^\.]*\.[^\.]*\)\./\1/'
Output :
0.592922148
0.821504176
1.174129731
Expected output :
0.592922148,0.821504176,1.174129731
You may use
sed -e ':a' -e 's/\(\.[^.,]*\)\./\1/' -e 't a'
See online sed demo:
s='0.592922148,0.821504176,1.174.129.731'
sed -e ':a' -e 's/\(\.[^.,]*\)\./\1/' -e 't a' <<< "$s"
Details
:a - label a
s/\(\.[^.,]*\)\./\1/ - finds and captures into Group 1 a dot, then any 0+ chars other than dot and comma, and then just matches a dot, and replaces this match with the value in Group 1 (thus, removing the second matched dot)
t a - if there was a successful replacement, goes back to the a label position in the string.
While I think the sed solution is your best choice, since you have tagged your question with both sed and awk, an awk solution is fairly straight forward as well using split() and basic string concatenation. (just not nearly as short) For example you could do:
awk -v OFS=, -F, '{
for (i=1; i<=NF; i++) {
n=split ($i, a,".")
if (n > 2) {
s=a[1] "." a[2]
for (j=3; j<=n; j++)
s = s a[j]
$i=s
}
}
}1'
Where you define the field separator and output field separators as ','. Then looping over each field, check the return of split(), splitting the field into an array on '.' into array a. If the resulting number of elements is greater than 2, then put your first two elements back together restoring the first '.' in the number, and then simply concatenate the remaining fields. The 1 at the end is the default "print record" to print the updated record.

An awk verison:
echo '0.592922148,0.821504176,1.174.129.731' | awk -F, '{for (i=1;i<=NF;i++) {sub(/\./,"#",$i);gsub(/\./,"",$i);sub(/#/,".",$i);print $i}}'
0.592922148
0.821504176
1.174129731
It splits the line inn to multiple fields by ,. Then replace first . to #. Then replace rest of . to nothing. Last replace # back to . and print it.
Edit
awk -F, '{for (i=1;i<=NF;i++) {sub(/\./,"#",$i);gsub(/\./,"",$i);sub(/#/,".",$i);a=a (i==1?"":",")$i}print a}' file

I would like to reverse the complete text from the file.
Say if the file contains:
com.e.h/float
I want to get output as:
float/h.e.com
I have tried the command:
rev file.txt
but I have got all the reverse output: taolf/h.e.moc
Is there a way I can get the desired output. Do let me know. Thank you.
Here is teh link of teh sample file: Sample Text
You can use sed and tac:
str=$(echo 'com.e.h/float' | sed -E 's/(\W+)/\n\1\n/g' | tac | tr -d '\n')
echo "$str"
float/h.e.com
Using sed we insert \n before and after all non-word characters.
Using tac we reverse the output lines.
Using tr we strip all new lines.
If you have gnu-awk then you can do all this in a single awk command using 4 argument split function call that populates split strings and delimiters separately:
awk '{
s = ""
split($0, arr, /\W+/, seps)
for (i=length(arr); i>=1; i--)
s = s seps[i] arr[i]
print s
}' file
For non-gnu awk, you can use:
awk '{
r = $0
i = 0
while (match(r, /[^a-zA-Z0-9_]+/)) {
a[++i] = substr(r, RSTART, RLENGTH) substr(r, 0, RSTART-1)
r = substr(r, RSTART+RLENGTH)
}
s = r
for (j=i; j>=1; j--)
s = s a[j]
print s
}' file
Is it possible to use Perl?
perl -nlE 'say reverse(split("([/.])",$_))' f
This one-liner reverses all the lines of f, according to PO's criteria.
If prefer a less parentesis version:
perl -nlE 'say reverse split "([/.])"' f
For portability, this can be done using any awk (not just GNU) using substrings:
$ awk '{
while (match($0,/[[:alnum:]]+/)) {
s=substr($0,RLENGTH+1,1) substr($0,1,RLENGTH) s;
$0=substr($0,RLENGTH+2)
} print s
}' <<<"com.e.h/float"
This steps through the string grabbing alphanumeric strings plus the following character, reversing the order of those two captured pieces, and prepending them to an output string.
Using GNU awk's split, splitting from separators . and /, define more if you wish.
$ cat program.awk
{
for(n=split($0,a,"[./]",s); n>=1; n--) # split to a and s, use n from split
printf "%s%s", a[n], (n==1?ORS:s[(n-1)]) # printf it pretty
}
Run it:
$ echo com.e.h/float | awk -f program.awk
float/h.e.com
EDIT:
If you want to run it as one-liner:
awk '{for(n=split($0,a,"[./]",s); n>=1; n--); printf "%s%s", a[n], (n==1?ORS:s[(n-1)])}' foo.txt
Suppose we have a string like
"dir1|file1|dir2|file2"
and would like to turn it into
"-f dir1/file1 -f dir2/file2"
Is there an elegant way to do this with sed or awk for a general case of n > 2?
My attempt was to try
echo "dir1|file1|dir2|file2" | sed 's/\(\([^|]\)|\)*/-f \2\/\4 -f \6\/\8/'
An awk solution:
awk -F'|' '{ for (i=1;i<=NF;i+=2) printf "-f %s/%s%s", $i, $(i+1), ((i==NF-1) ? "\n" : " ") }' \
<<<"dir1|file1|dir2|file2"
-F'|' splits the input into fields by |
for (i=1;i<=NF;i+=2) loops over the field indices in increments of 2
printf "-f %s/%s%s", $i, $(i+1), ((i==NF-1) ? "\n" : " ") prints pairs of consecutive fields joined with / and prefixed with -f<space>
((i==NF-1) ? "\n" : " ") terminates each field-pair either with a space, if more fields follow, or a \n to terminate the overall output.
In a comment, the OP suggests a shorter variation, which may be of interest if you don't need/want the output to be \n-terminated:
awk -F'|' '{ for (i=1;i<=NF;++i) printf "%s", (i%2 ? " -f " $i : "/" $i ) }' \
<<<"dir1|file1|dir2|file2"
This might work for you (GNU sed):
sed 's/\([^|]*\)|\([^|]*\)|\?/-f \1\/\2 /g;s/ $//' file
This will work for dir1|file1|dir2|file2|dirn|filen type strings
The regexp forms two back references (\1,\2 used in the replacement part of the substitution command s/pattern/replacement/), the first is all non-|'s, then a |, the second is all non-|'s then an optional | i.e. for the first application of the substitution (N.B. the g flag is implemented and so the substitutions may be multiple) dir1 becomes \1 and file1 becomes \2. All that remains is to prepend -f and replace the first | by / and the second | by a space. The last space is not needed at the end of the line and is removed in the second substitution command.
$ awk -v RS='|' 'NR%2{p=$0;next} {printf " -f %s/%s", p, $0}' <<< 'dir1|file1|dir2|file2'
-f dir1/file1 -f dir2/file2
A gnu-awk solution:
s="dir1|file1|dir2|file2"
awk 'BEGIN{ FPAT="[^|]+\\|[^|]+" } {
for (i=1; i<=NF; i++) {
sub(/\|/, "/", $i);
if (i>1)
printf " ";
printf "-f " $i
};
print ""
}' <<< "$s"
-f dir1/file1 -f dir2/file2
FPAT is used for grabbing dir1|file2 into single field.
I am new to awk and need to find the statement to compare two fields in files below
The columns are , seperated
1.csv
_________
1space, aspace
2,b
space3space,c
2.csv
____________
1space,spacea
space2,bspace
3,spacecspace
The below statement works fine if there are no leading or training spaces in the fields of either of 1.tsv or 2.tsv
nawk -F, 'NR==FNR{a[$1,$2]++;next} !(a[$1,$2])' 2.tsv 1.tsv
Kindly let me know how can we modify the above statement to trim leadind and lagging spaces and then compare. Thanks for the help.
awk -F, '
{ key=$1; gsub(/^[[:space:]]+|[[:space:]]+$/,"",key) }
NR==FNR { a[key]; next }
!(key in a)
' 2.tsv 1.tsv
Do this:
awk '
BEGIN {FS=OFS=","}
NR==FNR {
gsub(/^ *| *$/,"",$1)
a[$1]++
next
}
{
gsub(/^ *| *$/,"",$1);
if (!($1 in a)) {
print
}
}' 2.tsv 1.tsv
Code for GNU sed:
sed -r 's#\s*(\S+)\s*,\s*(\S+)\s*#/\\s*\1\\s*,\\s*\2\\s*/p#' file1|sed -f - file2
$cat file1
1 , a
2,b
3 ,c
$cat file2
1 ,a
2,b
3,c
$sed -r 's#\s*(\S+)\s*,\s*(\S+)\s*#/\\s*\1\\s*,\\s*\2\\s*/d#' file1|sed -nf - file2
You need to trim all the spaces from $1 before trying to locate it in array a:
awk -F"," 'NR==FNR{$1=$1;a[$1]++;next} {f1=$1; gsub(/ /, "", f1);
if (!a[f1]) print}' 2.tsv 1.tsv
