Hello folks,
I'm making a script to generate some statistics for a batch job and I'm
stuck with awk.
For example:
%echo 1 2 3 4 5 6 | awk {'print $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6'}
it will output:
1 2 3 4 5 6
I want to tokenize a string with another separating char (the : char):
%echo 1:2:3:4:5:6
and with awk to output:
1 2 3 4 5 6
Is there any way of doing this?
Real example:
I have a log file with the following output:
2006-01-20 - 20:01:07 - Some text
2006-01-20 - 20:01:15 - Some text
2006-01-20 - 20:01:38 - Some text
(...)
and since I'm generating hourly stats I need to match the "20" which is in =
a
string "20:01:07" that is separated by the char ":".
I hope I've been clear.
Thanks for your help.
