1. awk challanges Prof. Andrzej (AJ) Bieszczad Email: andrzej@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-49541 awk Challenges Find out what the following awk scripts do: END { print NR } Print number of records in a file. NR == 10 Print the 10th record of a file. { print $NF } { field = $NF } END { print field } Print all last fields in a file (i.e., last field of each record). NF > 4 Print records of a file that contain more than 4 fields. $NF > 4 { nf = nf + NF } END { print nf } Print number of fields in all records in which the fourth field is larger than 4.

2. awk challanges Prof. Andrzej (AJ) Bieszczad Email: andrzej@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-49542 awk Challenges Hint: Use the following to try things out: $ awk ‘/one/{print “This line contains \”one\”.”}’ I’ve got one penny. This line contains “one”. Count all records that include string “->” /->/ { nlines = nlines + 1 } END { print nlines } Find the maximum value of the first field of all records and print it along with the whole record $1 > max { max = $1; maxline = $0 } END { print max, maxline }
