I just downloaded the gawk utility today to run commands in DOS on my PC. I
can get a SUBSTR for numeric values to work in an IF statement, but I can't
get alpha characters to work. When I run the following command:
gawk "{if (substr($1,1,3) == "123") print $1}" baseball_test_file.txt >
baseball_test_file1.txt,
I get the correct data:
123
123xxx
123yyy.
However, when I run this command:
gawk "{if (substr($1,1,3) == "Sun") print $1}" baseball_test_file.txt >
baseball_test_file2.txt,
I get an empty file as a result. Below is my input data. I tried a bunch of
different things, but I can't figure it out. Little help?
123
123xxx
