I have written a script which looks through a file, when a backup fails to output a releavnt message.

I am finding that when a backup fails with Status 1, all the Status_Messages that being with Status 1* in the nberrors_rules file is being reported, as shown above.

It should only report the following message.

STATUS_MESSAGE ^1$ See BOA-NBU-1. Partial success.

Can you help.

=========== SCRIPT =============
set -x

RULES=nberrors_rules_NEW

MESSAGE=`awk <$RULES '/^STATUS_MESSAGE / && $2 ~ '/$STCODE/' { for(a=3;a<NF+1;a++) {printf "%s ",$a }}'`

cat nberrors_rules_NEW

If you want to print only the lines which contains ^1$ , the you may want to dosomething like this..

awk '{if ($2=="^1$") print $0} ' input
or to look for all the partial sucesses

sed -n '/Partial success/p' input

Hope this helps.
