awk help

[allanm77]

Hi,

Have a file which has  list of binary -

cat file

Applicationame-20110829-103844-56848782bd0249da9e17397acbacb27v
...

On the binary I have to run a command called install so I generate it by doing an awk  -

awk '{print "install -binary "$1" -app"}' file

install -binary Applicationame-20110829-103844-56848782bd0249da9e17397acbacb27v -app

Need the Applicationname in the end as an argument to -app.

install -binary Applicationame-20110829-103844-56848782bd0249da9e17397acbacb27v -app Applicationame

Thanks,

Allan.

Hi Allan:

Perhaps:

awk '{split($0,app,/-/);print "install -binary "$1" -app",app[1]}' file
