awk 'END {print NR}' employees

[Link] a awk program to read cie marks and see marks of a student in
particular course and find total marks and grade he or she has got:-

Terminal:-

awk -f [Link] inputfile

3. write a shell script that folds long lines into 40 columns any line that
exceeds 40 characters should be broken after 40th column, a* has to be
appended at the end as an indication of folding and remaining characters
should be continued in the next line, the input should be text file:-

fold_lines.sh:-

#!/bin/bash

# Check if input file is provided

if [ -z "$1" ]

then

echo "Error: Please provide an input file."

exit 1

fi

# Read input file line by line and fold long lines

while read -r line

do

# Check if line is longer than 40 characters

 if [ ${line} -gt 40 ] ->${#line}

then

# Fold line into 40 columns and append "*a" at the end

echo "${line:0:40}*a"

echo "${line:40}"

else

# Print line as is

echo "$line"

fi

done < "$1"

terminal:-

sh [Link] [Link]

sh fold_lines.sh [Link] > [Link]

1. Write a shell script to calculate the HRA ,DA and the gross salary of an
employee. If the basic is less than 6000 than HRA is the 50% of the basic
salary then DA is 20% of basic salary ,otherwise HRA is 40% and DA is
1000

cat>emp

name|designation|basic salary|

arpitha|accountant|5000|

ajay|manager|25000|

priya|manager|15000|

divya|accountant|1300|

john|manager|35000|

awk -F "|" '{ if ($3 <6000)

hra =0.5 * $3

da=0.2 * $3

else{

hra=0.4 * $3
da= 1000

gross=$3 + hra + da

print $0 , "|",hra,"|",da,"|",gross

}' emp

2. Write awk program to find total number of employee exist for each
designation.

cat >emp1

john|sales|19000

jane|marekting|23000|

bob|sales|12000|

alice|hr|12000

arpitha|marketing|12000|

awk -F "|" '{ count[$2]++} END { for (design in count) print

design,count[design]}' emp

output:

manager 3

accountant 2

designation 1
