Default awk: syntax error near line 1 awk: bailing out near line 1
hi,

i am trying to reflect the name (example: LDRIVE in to RDRIVE) in UNIX
sun environment and please find below the script i used.

awk -F ">" '{if (substr($2,2,1) != " ") if ((match(substr($2,2,1),

(substr($2,2,1) == "R") printf "(VNAME 1 %d, %6d ) = L%s (was %s)\n",
length(substr($2,2)), NR, substr($2,3), substr($2,2); else if
(substr($2,2,1) == "L") printf "(VNAME 1 %d, %6d ) = R%s (was %s)\n",
length(substr($2,2)), NR, substr($2,3), substr($2,2); else if
( match(substr($2,2,1), "[FfCcAa]") == 1 ) if (substr($2,3,1) == "R")
printf "(VNAME 1 %d, %6d ) = %sL%s (was %s)\n", length(substr($2,2)),

Just a note...

It is possible to put awk programs in a file, say "trash.awk", and
call it as...

awk -f trash.awk datafiles

Then you can also format your code (for free; no extra fee) to become
readable by using a single command per line and proper indentation.
Doing that will greatly increase the number of people who are willing
to analyse your code. Having an awk program of many lines might also
point you to the line number of your problem without necessity to ask
here.

Are you working on solaris? Try /usr/xpg4/bin/awk instead of /bin/awk.

What ever happened to whitespace and structure?

Try nawk or /usr/xpg4/bin/awk rather than /bin/awk.
At least you'll get a better error message.

Hi,

In addition to Janis'recommendations, you'd gain in readability if you
were storing function results into intermediary variables.

Anyway, I think the errors arise from the fact that "and" is not the
right logical conjunction operator. You'd rather use "&&".

Hope it helps.

Cheers,

Jean-Philippe

As said, instead of...

awk -F ">" '...'

try

/usr/xpg4/bin/awk -F ">" '...'

or reformat your code to make it legible for an analysis.

Don't use awk. Use nawk. This is new awk.
Both ar on the SOlaris OS.
There are many many reasons to use the new awk.
Reason #1 - better error messages.

Or /usr/xpg4/bin/awk. Just don't use old, broken awk.

Reason #1 - fewer error messages ;-).

Why do people give this crappy advice? Both nawk and xpg4awk are just
somewhat better (read: not terrible) than Solaris:binawk.

If you're going to go non-standard (don't bother to argue with this; you
know what I mean), just get GAWK and be happy.

Yes. That should be:

Reason #1 - fewer error messages
Reason #2 - better error messages
