NAME
gbconvtable - Replace keys with values
SYNOPSIS
gbconvtable [options]
DESCRIPTION
Replace keys with values at a given position of the input file. The name of the dictionary file is
provided on the command line with the option 'dictfile'. It is a simple text file organized in two
columns. The first column contains the keys and the second column the respective values. Obviously the
values can be equal, but the keys should be all different. Data are read from standard input and all
fields at position 'pos' are considered keys of the provided dictionary and replaced with the associated
keys. If 'pos' is not specified it is assumed equal to 1. If 'pos' is larger than the number of fields,
no replacement takes place. If the option 'force' is not set, only those fields which appears as keys in
the dictionary file are replaced.
OPTIONS
-d name of the dictionary file
-c position of the column of keys to be replaced
-f forced look-up: substitute provided string for non defined keys
EXAMPLES
gbconvtable -d dict_file -c 3 -f 'none' < input_file
This program requires awk or gawk.
