first.csv
A , X
B , Y
C , Z
D , X
E , X
second.csv
A , X , 1
D , X , 4
E , X , 6
required output.csv
A , X , 1
B , Y
C , Z
D , X , 4
E , X , 6
How to achieve above scenario like replace or adding rows from one CSV to another CSV file based on a condition in linux. Thanks in advance .
I tried below command
awk -F, '{getline f1 <"second.csv" ;if($2=="X"){ $0=f1}print $0}' OFS=, first.csv
but its not working . Replacing same record for all rows which satisfies the condition.
Could you please try following written and tested with shown samples GNU awk.
awk '
BEGIN{
FS=OFS=" , "
}
FNR==NR{
a[$1 OFS $2]=$3
next
}
{
$0=$0 (($1 OFS $2) in a?OFS a[$1 OFS $2]:"")
}
1
' second.csv first.csv
Explanation: Adding detailed explanation for above.
awk ' ##starting awk program from here.
BEGIN{ ##Starting BEGIN section from here.
FS=OFS=" , " ##Setting field separator and output field separator as space comma space.
}
FNR==NR{ ##Checking condition which will be TRUE when second.csv is being read.
a[$1 OFS $2]=$3 ##Creating array a with index of 1st and 2nd field, value is $3.
next ##next will skip all further statements from here.
}
{
$0=$0 (($1 OFS $2) in a?OFS a[$1 OFS $2]:"") ##Adding value of a with index of $1 OFS $2 if its present in a or add null.
}
1 ##1 will print current line here.
' second.csv first.csv ##Mentioning Input_file names here.
Another awk
$ awk -F, ' NR==FNR{ a[$1]=$0 ; next } ($1 in a ) { print a[$1] } !($1 in a) { print } ' second.csv first.csv
A , X , 1
B , Y
C , Z
D , X , 4
E , X , 6
$
another approach
$ join file2 file1 -a2 | cut -d, -f1-3
A , X , 1
B , Y
C , Z
D , X , 4
E , X , 6
