awk articles, we discussed about awk print, awk user-defined variables, awk built-in variables, and awk operators. In this awk http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/02/awk-conditional-statements tutorial, let us review awk conditional if statements with practical examples. Awk supports lot of conditional statements to control the flow of the program. Most of the Awk conditional statement syntax are looks like ‘C' programming language. Normally conditional statement checks the condition, before performing any action. If the condition is true action(s) are performed. Similarly action can be performed if the condition syntax error is false. Conditional statement starts with the keyword called ‘if'. Awk supports two different kind of if statement. Awk Simple If statement Awk If-Else statement Awk If-ElseIf-Ladder Awk Simple If Statement Single Action: Simple If statement is used to check the conditions, if the condition returns true, it performs its corresponding action(s). Syntax: if (conditional-expression) action if is a keyword conditional-expression - expression syntax error at to check conditions action - any awk statement to perform action. Multiple Action: If the conditional expression returns true, then action will be performed. If more than one action needs to be performed, the actions should be enclosed in curly braces, separating them into a new line or semicolon as shown below. Syntax: if (conditional-expression) { action1; action2; } If the condition is true, all the actions enclosed in braces will be performed in the given order. After all the actions are performed it continues to execute the next statements. Awk If Else Statement In the above simple awk If statement, there is no set of actions in case if the condition is false. In the awk If Else statement you can give the list of action to perform if the condition is false. If the condition returns true action1 will be performed, if the condition is false action 2 will be performed. Syntax: if (conditional-expression) action1 else action2 Awk also has conditional operator i.e ternary operator ( ?: ) whose feature is similar to the awk If Else Statement. If the conditional-expression is true, action1
