Bash regex overwrite line if multiple match

Time:05-22

I have a bash script where I have 3 regular expressions. I would like to, through conditional if, to find the match of the first pattern in the file.

If there is a match, then look for a match in the second pattern but only with the lines that have matched the first pattern.

Finally, to check the third pattern only with the lines that have matched the second pattern (which are also the ones that had already matched the first pattern).

I have the following code but I don't know how to tell that if there is a match to overwrite the "line" value to decrease the number of total lines to only the ones matching.

 #!/bin/bash
    pattern1= egrep '^([^,]*,){31}[1-9][0-9].*'
    pattern2= egrep '^([^,]*,){16}[0-1].[3-9].*'
    pattern3= egrep '^([^,]*,){32}[2-9][0-9].*'

while read line
    do
        if [[$line == $pattern1]];then
        newline == $pattern1
        if [[$newline == $pattern2 ]];then
        newline2 == $pattern2
        if [[$newline2 == $pattern3 ]]; then
        echo $pattern3

        fi
    done < mj1.csv  #this is the input file
    

I will call this script like ./b1.sh <filename>

To make things easier, pattern1 matches all rows where column PTS is higher than 10, pattern 2 matches the rows where column FG_PCT is higher than 0.3, and pattern 3 matches all rows where column GmSc is higher than 19.

CodePudding user response:

While an awk solution is going to be a bit faster ... we'll focus on a bash solution per OP's request.

First issue is regex matching uses the =~ operator and not the == operator.

Second issue is that to keep a row if only all 3 regexes match means we want to and (&&) the results of all 3 regex matches.

Third issue addresses some basic syntax issues with OP's current code (eg, space after [[ and before ]]; improper assignments of regex patterns to the pattern* variables).

One bash idea:

pattern1='^([^,]*,){31}[1-9][0-9].*'
pattern2='^([^,]*,){16}[0-1].[3-9].*'
pattern3='^([^,]*,){32}[2-9][0-9].*'

head -1 mj1.csv > mj1.new.csv

while read -r line
do
    if [[ "${line}" =~ $pattern1 && "${line}" =~ $pattern2 && "${line}" =~ $pattern3 ]]
    then
        # do whatever with $line, eg:
        echo "${line}"
    fi
done < mj1.csv >> mj1.new.csv

This generates:

$ cat mj1.new.csv

NOTE: OP hasn't (yet) provided the expected output so at this point I have to assume OP's regexes are correct
