I am trying to process the contents of a file from this format:
this1,EUR
that2,USD
other3,GBP
to this format:
this1(EUR),that2(USD),other3(GBP)
The result should be a single line.
As of now I have come up with this circuit of commands that works fine:
cat myfile | sed -e 's/,/\(/g' | sed -e 's/$/\)/g' | tr '\n' , | awk '{print substr($0, 0, length($0)- 1)}'
Is there a simpler way to do the same by just an awk command?
Another awk:
$ awk -F, '{ printf "%s%s(%s)", c, $1, $2; c = ","} END { print ""}' file
1(EUR),2(USD),3(GBP)
Following awk may help you on same.
awk -F, '{val=val?val OFS $1"("$2")":$1"("$2")"} END{print val}' OFS=, Input_file
