How to remove underscore character with awk












1














I have a file as below:



This is an _PLUTO_

This is _PINEAPPLE_

This is _ORANGE_

This is _RICE_


I'm using below code to extract the output:



awk '{ print "Country: "  $NF }'  report.txt


Output:



Country: _PLUTO_

Country: _PINEAPPLE_

Country: _ORANGE_

Country: _RICE_


How do I remove all the underscore so that my output looks below:



Country: PLUTO

Country: PINEAPPLE

Country: ORANGE

Country: RICE

You can use this snippet:



$ awk '{ gsub("_", "", $NF); print "Country: " $NF }' report.txt

Country: PLUTO

Country: PINEAPPLE

Country: ORANGE

Country: RICE


Note that gsub() will perform the modification in place, so it will store the result of the substitution back to $NF, in your case.



If you're using GNU awk, you can use gensub() instead, which is slightly simpler:



$ gawk '{ print "Country: " gensub("_", "", "g", $NF) }' report.txt

Country: PLUTO

Country: PINEAPPLE

Country: ORANGE

Country: RICE


See GNU awk documentation for gsub() and gensub() for more details.

    try



    awk -F_ '{ print "Country: " $(NF-1) }' infile


    You could try sed instead.



    sed -r 's/[^_]*_([^_]*)_.*/Country: 1/' infile




    • [^_]*_ matches everything until a first _ seen.


    • ([^_]*)_ matches everything after above match untill next _ seen and .* matches everything after that, but only keep (...) part as a captured group.


    • 1 is the back-reference to the ([^_]*) captured group.

                      Image
                      up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form?
