I’ve been going through an online UNIX course and have come across this question which I’m stuck on. Would appreciate any help!
You are provided with a set of files each one of which contains personal details about an individual. Each file is laid out in the following format, with one file per individual:
name:Niko Tanaka age:41 occupation:Doctor
I know the answer has to be in the form:
n=$(awk -F: ' / /{print }' filename)
Whatever is inside of
/ /are regular expressions. In this case you just want to match on the line that contains ‘name’.
