How to substr this?

02/12/2006, 21h43

Hi All,

I have a string that looks like this:

TRSUN5.12312006:N,TRSAT2.12092006:Y,TRSUN6.1231200 6:N

I want to be able to extract the different substrings using the comma
as a delimiter. Extracting the first item is easy: fld=`echo $string
| awk '{print substr($string,1,index($string,",")-1)}'`

I'm not sure how to get the second and third parts. I'm not sure I can
use the comma as a delimiter since there is more than one
comma...................

The length of the string will not always be the same either, in fact,
sometimes an element may not be present.

TRSUN5.12312006:N,,TRSUN6.12312006:N
TRSUN5.12312006:N,TRSAT2.12092006:Y,

Any would be appreciated!

Thanks!

awk 'BEGIN{FS=","}{print $2}' infile

Though it is unclear what you want to do if there is ",," an
empty field? awk would regard this as field $2 being empty in
your above example.

The above command outputs all the (not null) fields.
To extract a particular filed, for example the third on the second line:

awk 'NR==2{print $3}' FS="," file

The second record. Equivalent to second line as long as the record
separator RS has not been changed.

I do not understand the concept of "second line"........it is the first
line......

OK,
it's because of the line wrapping that I assumed multiple lines/records.
If it's one-line input, you can access all your fields as $1, $2 ... $n
(assuming the comma delimiter).

What "concept"?
What 'it' "is the first line"?

You asked: "What is NR==2????".

I trimmed the posting to the essential parts so that you can re-read my
answer in the specific context.

you could also do this:

line='TRSUN5.12312006:N,TRSAT2.12092006:Y,TRSUN6.1 2312006:N'
field1=$(echo $line|cut -d, -f:1)
field2=$(echo $line|cut -d, -f:2)
...
fieldn=$(echo $line|cut -d, -f:n)
