I don't understand why that you didn't get a syntax error when you issued: awk '{ printf }' x.xml > y.xml I ran the above statement on the command line; I got the following: awk: Syntax error Context is: >>> { printf } <<< If I put a space between 'print' and 'f', awk '{ print f }' x.xml > y.xml, i...

You need at least a format string. ... i have been using awk '{ printf }' x.xml > y.xml for the past 6 months without any problem. i have changed the code to awk '{ print $0 }' x.xml > y.xml and its working fine now.But, i dont know how to explain it to my boss. he is asking why it has worked till ...

A printf action looks like this: { printf format-string, value, value, ... } The format-string indicates the output format. The given values give the data to be displayed. That's why you got "Insufficient arguments" error for awk '{printf}'. can't we use awk '{ printf }' without arguments...

Since $0 reads as whole line, you might not got it. Anyway whats is the error that you get? ...

Insufficient arguments for awk '{printf}'.

$0 returns the whole line. Where I guess, printf receives each word as argument and prints out. So the alignment might vary. But I dont think you get the work truncated. Btw, where are you using this, and whats your effect of output? I'm using it in a shell script. My source is a XML file and it ha...

Hi, when i use the following command awk '{ printf }' x > y data is truncating. when i use the following command awk '{ print $0 }' x > y data is not truncating. is something related with new line character or anything else? what could be the reason?. please shed some light on this. thanks in advance.

it's gone.

I didn't see anything else other than 'Alpha'

thanks.

i can see all the functions in my Dev box.

I can't see anything wrong there at all, except that the SUBSTRINGS function is meant to be used with dynamic arrays; it will work here because you only have one element; but I would prefer to see "BeginLoop.$Counter[1,1] = 'Z'" used instead - neverthe less it shouldn't affect your error....

I'm using ds 7.5 server edition.

Trigger expression is:

Trim(BeginLoop.$Counter) = 'x.sh' Or Trim(BeginLoop.$Counter) ='y.sh' Or Substrings(BeginLoop.$Counter,1,1) = 'Z'


Thanks,

Could you please post the code in your trigger condition; it sounds like you might have some sort of a syntax error. same job is working fine in Dev region. When i checked for functions by right click.. I can see only 'Alpha' under String functions. Why is that so?. Any idea please. Thanks in advan...

I have used a Nested condition activity in my sequence job. In that expression link i have user 'Trim' and 'Substrings' functions. When i tried to compile that job it gaves some error message like: Activity Nested_condition1: Trigger Expression lnk_aa - Variable 'Trim' not defined. what does it mean...

If it is in production, how do you explain it to yoour boss?
I can't say like just need to re compile right.
we need to give the permanant solution.

Thanks.
