Why cut when you can awk?

Hi Leandro,

awk would be a better tool here - try

bdf | awk '{print $5,$6}'

HTH,
Jeff

Try this:

# bdf | awk '{print $5, $6}' > /tmp/bdf_list

Not sure cut is your best best here.

awk is a possibility as in
df | awk '$1 ~ "/dev" { printf "%s %s\n",$4,$5}'

However bdf will split long lines and NFS mounts will break the above.

Here is a perl snippet that deals with all that

@FILESYSTEMS=(`df 2>/dev/null`);

while($filesystem=pop @FILESYSTEMS){
chop($filesystem);

# Dump df output we don't want

next if $filesystem =~ /.*Filesystem.*/;
next if $filesystem =~ /swap.*/;
next if $filesystem =~ /proc.*/;

# get filesystem percentage used (5th field)

($waste1,$waste2,$waste3,$waste4,$percentage,$fs)=split " ", $filesystem;

if($fs eq ""){ # A two line df filesystem
$fs=$percentage;
$percentage=$waste4;
$filesystem=pop @FILESYSTEMS;
}

next if $filesystem =~ /:/; # Lose NFS filesystems

print "Filestem $fs is $percentage used\";
}

Leandro --

My filename is called "useme"

cut -d" " -f5,6 useme

#cat useme
The fast brown fox chased after the lazy hare
#cut -d" " -f5,6 useme
chased after
#

The -d determines the delimter for cut to use.
Default is .

Best regards,

BEGIN {
iLinha=0
}
{
if ( NF == 1 ) {
lin = substr( $1, 1, length( $1 ) )
} else {
iLinha++
if ( NF > 5 ) {
Linha[iLinha]=sprintf("%-30.30s %8s %8s %8s %8s %3s %s",$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7 )
} else {
Linha[iLinha]=sprintf("%-30.30s %8s %8s %8s %8s %3s %s",lin,$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6 )
}
lin=""
}

END {
i=1
while ( i <= iLinha ) {
print Linha[i]
i++
}
}
'

You my select the fields that you need.
