I have to add the numbers returned by REGEX using awk in linux.
Basically from this file:
123john456:x:98:98::/home/john123:/bin/bash
I have to add the numbers 123
and 456
using awk. So the result would be 579
So far I have done the following:
awk -F ':' '$1 ~ VAR+="/[0-9].*(?=:)/" ; {print VAR}' /etc/passwd
awk -F ':' 'VAR+="/[0-9].*(?=:)/" ; {print VAR}' /etc/passwd
awk -F ':' 'match($1, VAR=/[0-9].*?:/) ; {print VAR}' /etc/passwd
And from what I've seen match doesn't support this at all.
Does someone has any idea?
UPDATE: it also should work for john123
result - > 123
123john
result - > 123
$ awk -F':' '{split($1,t,/[^0-9]+/); print t[1] + t[2]}' file
579
With your updated requirements:
$ cat file
123john456:x:98:98::/home/john123:/bin/bash
john123:x:98:98::/home/john123:/bin/bash
123john:x:98:98::/home/john123:/bin/bash
$ awk -F':' '{split($1,t,/[^0-9]+/); print t[1] + t[2]}' file
579
123
123
With gawk and for the given example
awk -F ':' '{a=gensub(/[a-zA-Z]+/,"+", "g", $1); print a}' inputFile | bc
would do the job. More general:
awk -F ':' '{a=gensub(/[a-zA-Z]+/,"+", "g", $1); a=gensub(/^+/,"","g",a); a=gensub(/+$/,"","g",a); print a}' inputFile | bc
The regex-part replaces all sequences of letters with '+' (eg, ' 12johnny34
' becomes 12+34
). Finally, this mathematical operation is evaluated by bc
. (The be safe, I remove leading and trailing '+' sings by ^+
and +$
)
You can use [^0-9]+
as a field separator, and :[^\\n]*\\n
as a record separator instead:
awk -F '[^0-9]+' 'BEGIN{RS=":[^\n]*\n"}{print $1+$2}' /etc/passwd
so that given the content of /etc/passwd being:
123john456:x:98:98::/home/john123:/bin/bash
john123:x:98:98::/home/john123:/bin/bash
123john:x:98:98::/home/john123:/bin/bash
This outputs:
579
123
123
I used awk's split()
to separate the first field on any string not containing numbers.
split(string, target_array, [regex], [separator_array]*)
*separator_array requires gawk
$ awk -F: '{split($1, A, /[^0-9]+/, S); print S[1], A[1]+A[2]}' <<EOF
123john456:x:98:98::/home/john123:/bin/bash
123john:x:98:98::/home/john123:/bin/bash
EOF
john 579
john 123
You may use
awk -F ':' '{n=split($1, a, /[^0-9]+/); b=0; for (i=1;i<=n;i++) { b += a[i]; }; print b; }' /etc/passwd
See online awk
demo
s="123john456:x:98:98::/home/john123:/bin/bash
john123:x:98:98::/home/john123:/bin/bash"
awk -F ':' '{n=split($1, a, /[^0-9]+/); b=0; for (i=1;i<=n;i++) { b += a[i]; }; print b; }' <<< "$s"
Output:
579
123
Details
-F ':'
- records are split into fields with :
char n=split($1, a, /[^0-9]+/)
- gets Field 1 and splits into digit only chunks saving the numbers in a
array and the n
var contains the number of these chunks b=0
- b
will hold the sum for (i=1;i<=n;i++) { b += a[i]; }
for (i=1;i<=n;i++) { b += a[i]; }
- iterate over a
array and sum the values print b
- prints the result. Here is another awk
variant that adds all the numbers present in first field separated by :
:
cat file
123john456:x:98:98::/home/john123:/bin/bash
john123:x:98:98::/home/john123:/bin/bash
123john:x:98:98::/home/john123:/bin/bash
1j2o3h4n5:x:98:98::/home/john123:/bin/bash
awk -F '[^0-9:]+' '{s=0; for (i=1; i<=NF; i++) {s+=$i; if ($i~/:$/) break} print s}' file

You can try Perl also
$ cat johnny.txt
123john456:x:98:98::/home/john123:/bin/bash
john123:x:98:98::/home/john123:/bin/bash
123john:x:98:98::/home/john123:/bin/bash
$ perl -F: -lane ' $_=$F[0]; $sum+= $1 while(/(\d+)/g); print $sum; $sum=0 ' johnny.txt
