Parsing a Block of Test

[James Marshall]

The text from stdout and looks like the following and repeats the same four lines of data for every instance found from command tacmd listsit -m $thismanagedsystem -l

Type:Windows OS
Name:Non_Truncated_Name
Status:Stopped
Full Name:

Type:Windows OS
Name:Truncated_Name
Status:Started
Full Name:This_is_the_full_name

What I am trying to do is parse the data and grab everything on the right side of the colon add some additional text and then print it out as a single line.

the output line would look something like this:
server,product code,Type,Name,Full name

From what I seen in many posts, is looking for a word pattern over multiple lines, and trying those does not produce desired results

#try this in a linux shell
#put your records in a text file called MYTEXT.txt
#for loop will grab every non empty line and #concatenate with a comma
 
line="";
 
for i in $(cat MYTEXT.txt);
do
  r=$(echo "$i" |cut -d ':' -f 2);
  if [[ $r != $empty ]];
  then
    #this is the place where handling your grabbed data
    line="${line},${r}";
  fi;
done;
 
echo $line

What have you tried?

Are you receiving errors and if so, what are those errors?

You need to post your code.
