aawk

Linux awk short command

This script will shorten your awk filtering commands.

Ex. If you want to filter all dates from below log file

time=t1 date=d1 rule=in

time=t2 date=d3 rule=out

rule=r3 date=sd3 run=no

Long awk command is : awk -F"date=" '{print }' your.log | cut -f1 -d" "

Output you will get : d1 d3 sd3

This script will shorten your awk command. Using the aawk.py you can use the same command by : python3 aawk.py "date=" " " your.log

If you copy this aawk.py to your /usr/bin file and add a alias you can further shorten the command : aawk "date=" " " your.log

Requirenment: python3

How to run :

1. Download the aawk.py

2. Copy the aawk.py file

   sudo cp aawk.py /etc

3. Add alias to run the aawk.py

   Open the .bashrc file

   vi ~/.bashrc

   Add new alias

   alias aawk='python3 /etc/aawk.py'
