Fast question.
I've got flat text with fields that are separated by '|'.
QUESTION:
How can I read them in and assign them variable names to work with using
the '|' as a field separator?

or:
awk -F '|' '{ ## do whatever
print $1
print $2 ## ertc...
}'

You can use the IFS variable (IFS="|").

comp.unix.shell answer: awk -F'|' should do it.

1. C Question -- ANSI C -- *** Please help me Parsing an IP String ****
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
main()
{
char *ip;
char *loc, bit1[5], bit2[5], bit3[5], bit4[5];
char tmp1[13];
int ch = '.';
ip = malloc(15);
strcpy(ip, "172.30.43.103");
The code above is just an example of how the IP address will look.
All I want to do is fill in each bit variable with each number.
Example as follows:
bit1=172
bit2=30
bit3=43
bit4=103 or
bit1=172
bit2=20
bit3=125
bit4=10
After I parse this I need to add zeros on all numbers less then 3
digits.
0 would be 000 and 10 would be 010 or 23 would be 023.
ultimately I would like to have each variable filled like shown below.
bit1=205
bit2=023
bit3=120
bit4=002
So the IP would be 205.023.120.002 instead of 205.23.120.2. Then I
have a file filled with IP address and I want to compare the bits to
the IP's in the file. The file is the easy part but parsing the users
IP is a bit more difficult.
Please any help with this will be appreciated.
Thank you.
