In the following text, I would like to skip the first line and put $ in front of lines starting with Part1. I have included my script, but it not working. Can you please help?
Input
------
Intro
Part1 Yellow
Part2 Red
Part3 Green
Part1 Yellow
Desired output:
--------------
$Part1 Yellow
Part2 Red
Part3 Green
$Part1 Yellow
Code:
awk 'NR>1 {$0~/Part1/($0="$ "$0)}1' myfile
Error:
awk: Syntax error Context is:
>>> NR>1 {$0~/Part1/( <<<
CodePudding user response:
With your shown samples please try following awk
. Simple explanation would be, its skipping 1st line(FNR>1
) condition AND its checking if a line starts with Part1
then its adding $
in front of current line's value. Then mentioning 1
will print the edited/non-edited line.
awk 'FNR>1 && /^Part1/{$0="$"$0} 1' Input_file
