- Print the fifth column (a.k.a. field) in a space-separated file:
2014-03-08 17:03:01 +00:00
`awk '{print $5}' {{filename}}`
- Print the second column of the lines containing "something" in a space-separated file:
2016-02-04 18:30:40 +00:00
`awk '/{{something}}/ {print $2}' {{filename}}`
- Print the last column of each line in a file, using a comma (instead of space) as a field separator:
2014-03-08 17:03:01 +00:00
`awk -F ',' '{print $NF}' {{filename}}`
2014-03-08 17:03:01 +00:00
- Sum the values in the first column of a file and print the total:
2014-03-08 17:03:01 +00:00
`awk '{s+=$1} END {print s}' {{filename}}`
- Sum the values in the first column and pretty-print the values and then the total:
2014-03-08 17:03:01 +00:00
`awk '{s+=$1; print $1} END {print "--------"; print s}' {{filename}}`
