如何使用awk的gsub去除文件中的./和.txt字符

Ah, I see exactly where your gsub call went wrong! The problem is that you're using a character class ([./txt]) which matches individual characters instead of the exact substrings ./ and .txt you want to remove. Let's break this down and fix it.

Why Your Original Code Fails #

[./txt] tells awk to match any single character that's either ., /, t, or x. This means it would strip out the t in file_name too, turning it into fil_name—definitely not what you're aiming for!

Correct Solutions #

You need to target the exact substrings you want to remove, anchored to the right parts of the line. Here are two reliable approaches:

Method 1: Two Separate gsub Calls (Most Precise)

Use one gsub to eliminate the leading ./ and another to remove the trailing .txt:

{
  gsub(/^\.\//, "");  # Remove the exact "./" from the start of the line
  gsub(/\.txt$/, ""); # Remove the exact ".txt" from the end of the line
  print
}

• ^\.\//: The ^ anchors the match to the line start, \. escapes the dot (since it's a special regex character), and \/ escapes the slash.
• \.txt$: The $ anchors the match to the line end, ensuring we only remove .txt when it's at the very end of the string.

Method 2: Brevity with a Combined Approach

If you prefer a shorter script, you can combine the logic (though splitting into two calls is more readable for others):

{
  gsub(/^\.\//, "") && gsub(/\.txt$/, "")
  print
}

Test It Out #

Run this command with your sample input to verify the result:

echo "./file_name.txt|1230" | awk '{gsub(/^\.\//, ""); gsub(/\.txt$/, ""); print}'

You'll get your desired output:

file_name|1230
