AWK Beginner needs help in script

madmurdock · Apr 21, 2013

Hi out there,

trying to get one certain string out of a textfile and want to look if that string has another appearance in the same file and print it out. What I have so far is:

Code:

  grep -v ^# textfile | awk 'BEGIN {RS=""} /\/usr\/bin\/vi|more|less|find|awk|man/ { if ( $0 !~ /[nN][oO][eE][xX][eE][cC]/ || $0 ~ /![ \t]*[nN][oO][eE][xX][eE][cC]/)  { printf("%s:%s : noexec does not exist \n",$1,$2) ; }}'

From this finding ( especially $2 ) I want to find out another appearance. Do not know how to code that.

And yes, you assumed right, input file is /etc/sudoers ..

Thx for your help

Your requirements are clear as mud.
Do you mean the times and/or lines where a certain string appears in a file?
