Question

**Need to use awk command in putty (should be a ONE LINE COMMAND)

Write the command that would find all lines that have an email address and place a label email = before the line in the file longfile output will multiple lines similar to this one :

using a good awk command the output would be something like this

email = From: "Linder, Jann/WDC" <[email protected]>
email = To: Mr Arlington Hewes <[email protected]>
email = > From: Mr Arlington Hewes [SMTP:[email protected]]
email = > To: [email protected]

….etc...

---

the perfect output, but removing the duplicates( accomplished by using | uniq) would be even better:

email = [email protected]
email = [email protected]
email = [email protected]
email = [email protected]
email = [email protected]
email = [email protected]
email = [email protected]

…… etc ...

Answer 1

Note: I have provided two commands, you can use anyone according to your requirement.

Code to copy:

1. awk '{   for (k=1;k<=NF;k++) {if ( $k ~ /[[:alpha:]]@[[:alpha:]]/ ) {print "email = " $k }}}' "longfile.txt"
2. awk '/From:|To:|Cc:/ {printf ("email=%s\n" ,$0) ;}' longfile.txt

Output:
