Record too long.......

Sep 23rd, 2009
Hi,
I am trying to log a portion of the log file depending upon the "WorkOrderNumber" and "level".
The shell script i've written is as follows:-
Shell Scripting Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. cat input.log | awk '/\[WorkOrderNumber/' | awk /120600012/ | awk /INFO/ | tee log.vw

For a particular WorkOrderNumber, the record is very long (4253 characters).

When I run the script I get following message:-

awk: record `[2009-09-17 08:26]IN...' too long
record number 882

How to get rid of this error?
I don't want to tamper with input.log file.

Please help.

Is this a solaris machine? You can try using GNU's awk which won't throw this error. The name for it is "gawk". You should be able to get solaris package files for GNU utils. I think www.ibiblio.org has them on their FTP site.

Please explain me thinking that you're explaining to a dimwit.

I don't know what version of solaris you are running. Just google "Solaris N gawk", such as "Solaris 9 gawk":

Solaris 9: http://www.sunfreeware.com/programlistsparc9.html
