Ksh parameter not set error

Anand_30 — Tue, 30 Sep 2003 11:44:56 GMT

I am trying to extract some file in the following format.

month date time file

I am using the following command:

ls -l|grep file|print{$6,$7,$8,"/t"$9}

But I am getting the following error:
ksh:parameter not set

Can anyone please tell me how to get rid of this problem.

Thanks,
-Anand

Post the script.

It looks like you don't have the shell defined properly.

#!/usr/bin/ksh

For example.

I think it thinks "print" is parameter.

Try

ls -l | grep file | awk '{ print $6,$7,$8,"\t",$9 }'

try
ls -l|grep file|awk '{printf("%s %s %s\t%s\n",$6,$7,$8,$9);}'

I suppose "file" has different value depending on your query

ls -l |grep file |awk '{print $6,$7}'

Maybe there is a time loop out there...
