error with awk

[earandnow]

Thanks for your reply !

Now i don't have the previous syntax error and the script can connect to the distant ftp server without any problem.

It can also get the list of files to download but each time it fails and i have these erros :

ERROR 02: Download failed and too many retries...

awk: line 1: syntax error at or near {

Still running it on a debian 7 server...

I think it's on line 87.
Try to replace this

local destsize=`ls -la "$destfile" | awk '{ print $5}'`

with

local destsize=$(ls -la "$destfile" | awk '{print $5}')

I replaced the line 87 but I still have te same error...

Can you test these commands :

wget -S --spider --ftp-user="XXX" --ftp-password="XXX" -O - "ftp://XX.XXX.XXX.XXX:21/done/juin/Series/Game_Of_Thrones/Game.of.Thrones.S03E09.720p.HDTV.x264-EVOLVE/Game.of.Thrones.S03E09.720p.HDTV.x264-EVOLVE.mkv" >&1 2>&1 | grep '^213' | awk '{print $2}'

wget -S --spider --ftp-user="XXX" --ftp-password="XXX" -O - "ftp://XX.XXX.XXX.XXX:21/done/juin/Series/Game_Of_Thrones/Game.of.Thrones.S03E09.720p.HDTV.x264-EVOLVE/Game.of.Thrones.S03E09.720p.HDTV.x264-EVOLVE.mkv" >&1 2>&1 | grep ' Game.of.Thrones.S03E09.720p.HDTV.x264-EVOLVE.mkv$' | awk '{print $5}'

echo $(awk 'BEGIN{srand();print srand()}')

echo $(date +"%s")

here are the results :

Hi,
I solved the awk issue with changing the awk version. The Debian’s awk does not support 3th argument for match function. Read here :
http://softwaretesttips.com/2012/07/02/sitescope-log-monitor-error-message-awk-line-1-syntax-error-at-or-near/
Maybe this help to fix it.

I have updated the README.md for the error awk: line 1: syntax error at or near
