I am looking for a script/tool that will carry out a swlist for a software inventory, and output the data to a file that can be read into a spreadsheet or database. I need to compare software on 350 HP-UX servers to the contracts, therefore an automated process would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
you might want to post this in the HP-UX form.

However why can't you simply do a
swlist > file
looking at the output of swlist ( the short display ) it appears the format is
product version full description ....
I came up with is to put a , between the 3 pieces the problem is full description can be many words long.
swlist | egrep -v '^#|^ *$' | awk '{ printf("%s,%s,",$1,$2 ); for( x = 3 ; x <= NF ; x ++ ) { printf ("%s ",$x); } printf("\n"
; }'
and the output looks like....
B9788AA,1.3.1.02.01,Java 2 SDK 1.3 for HP-UX (700/800), PA1.1 + PA2.0 Add On
B9789AA,1.3.1.02.01,Java 2 RTE 1.3 for HP-UX (700/800), PA1.1 + PA2.0 Add On

and now you have a .CSV file which you can load into excel or easily compare to other .CSV files.
