counting with awk

[lawrenzo_1]

Hi,

I am attempting to use awk to count the number of times a string appears:

awk '/Virtual SCSI Disk Drive/ {line=line+1};END{print line}'

I want to then say if line is greater than zero then print "virtual server"

where will the "if" statement be placed?

Thanks all.

Chris.

Hi,

awk '/Virtual SCSI Disk Drive/ {line=line+1};END{print line; if(line>1){print "virtual server"} }'

.. or without printing the count:

awk '/Virtual SCSI Disk Drive/ {line=line+1};END{if(line>1){print "virtual server"} }'

..should work.

Cheers,
Wout
