I'm trying to output parts of a tacacs file into a monthly report.

Have tried doing it in python but my result still has errors, so I thought I'd try and see if there's a elegant solution within a simple-ish bash script.

Among other things in the file, the bits that I want out of the file look like this:

user = user1 
 member = group2
 

user = user2 
 member = group3
 

Now ideally what I want, is all the members that are part of say, group2, outputted into a column and in another column, have the name of the group they're in.

I can handle the emailing monthly part, it's just the output I'm experiencing issues with.

Any ideas?

$ awk '/user =/ u = $3 /member =/ print u, $3 ' file
user1 group2
user2 group3

If we find a line matching user =, then remember the user name (this is take from the third whitespace-delimited field). When we find a line matching member =, output the remembered user name along with the third field from this line (which ought to be the group name).

I'm unfamiliar with the file format and I don't know what else may be present in this file, so I can't say that this would work on any other data than what's presented in the question.
