  • The AWK part of the code will "collate" the fields from 2nd to Nth field (this is to handle any svn directories that may have spaces in them - typical when working with code that is interchangeably used with windows environment - for example, documentation teams) - the output is passed to "ls -ld" - the -d option to ls will tell ls to handle directories itself, rather than do ls on the directory. The '-p' option is just for pretty printing directories, links and executables (for added readability). Finally, the entire "constructed" command will be passed onto sh for shell execution.

  • Original command: cat "log" | grep "text to grep" | awk '{print $1}' | sort -n | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -n 100 This is a waste of multiple cats and greps, esp when awk is being used


    0
    awk '/text to grep/{print $1}' "log" | sort -n | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -n 100
