Hello everyone, the problem I am haveing in AWK or NAWK

I learned how to use AWK in DOS and it works well, I also learned how to make a BAT file


here is what I have in the BAT file and it works fine

[code]nawk.exe -f C:/awk/programfiles/duplicates.txt C:/awk/in/*.* > C:/awk/out/test.txt[code]



here is the programming language for finding duplicates

[code]!($1 in a);{a[$1]}[code]


I want to combine what have in the bat along with the programming language in the seperate file so I can contain everything inside the bat

sort of like this but this one doesnt work

[code]nawk.exe -f !($1 in a);{a[$1]} C:/awk/in/*.* > C:/awk/out/test.txt[code]

any help will be much appreciated
thanks
John

Well I don't know anything about AWK, but I do know you need to close your code tags.

Also, you could get away with using the [ inline ] [ / inline ] tags (minus the spaces) for the code that you've posted.

I know this doesn't answer your question, but it will help others be more responsive. smile.gif

Hello Tom and thanks for your quick reply

Those quotes I have at the beginning
CODE
are not the actual code

I tried to abide by post standards which said
Use BBCode when posting. For example: [code]Paste Your Code Here



I am new here and certainly need a lot more education on codes but I am trying to get by
thanks for the reply

nawk.exe -f C:/awk/programfiles/duplicates.txt C:/awk/in/*.* > C:/awk/out/test.txt

!($1 in a);{a[$1]}

nawk.exe -f !($1 in a);{a[$1]} C:/awk/in/*.* > C:/awk/out/test.txt

You're forgetting to close your tags was all I was saying. smile.gif

When executing awk scripts given directly on the command line, they need to be quoted properly.

nawk.exe "!($1 in a);{a[$1]}" C:/awk/in/*.* > C:/awk/out/test.txt

Notice the double quotes. I believe that this is correct for cmd.exe. In Unix, you'd normally use single quotes, as that would prevent the shell from processing the $1 characters, but in cmd.exe doesn't understand the $1 syntax, so you're safe. I don't think single quotes work the same way for Windows (at least, the internal function that splits the arguments).

Also, the -f needs to be removed, as your command isn't located in an external file.
