Original test file:
I want to add a new column (CSV filename) at the end of all columns in a CSV file using awk and gsub functions in Unix.
Input data (filename test.csv):
col1,col2,col3
ab, cd, ef
gh, ij, kl
mn, op,qr
Output file should look like:
col1,col2,col3,test.csv
ab,cd,ef,test.csv
gh,ij,kl,test.csv
mn,op,qr,test.csv
I have tried with below code:
awk '{gsub(/ /,",",$0);print $0,",",FILENAME > "test.csv"}' test.csv
Using this, the file name is getting appended at second column instead of last column:
It works fine with .txt files but doesn't work with .csv files; my requirement is to handle both type of file to append file name at the end.
CodePudding user response:
Some demonstrated effort would have been nice, but:
awk -F, '{gsub(/ /,"");print $0","FILENAME}' test.csv
col1,col2,col3,test.csv
ab,cd,ef,test.csv
gh,ij,kl,test.csv
mn,op,qr,test.csv
Redirect the output to a temporary file and then replace the original with it.
awk -F, '{gsub(/ /,"");print $0","FILENAME}' test.csv > tmp.csv && mv tmp.csv test.csv && cat test.csv
col1,col2,col3,test.csv
ab,cd,ef,test.csv
gh,ij,kl,test.csv
mn,op,qr,test.csv
