How do I use Ternary Operator within awk to write to a file?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
What is the syntax of Ternary in awk command in order to write to a file when condition is seen?
Below I'm trying but getting syntax error for given inputs!
Input sample data infile.txt:
1,1,c
0,3,b
0,0,a
1,5,z
1,5,y
5,5,x
The command:
awk -F',' 'print (($1==$2)?>"success.txt": >"failed.txt")' infile.txt
awk: print (($1==$2)?>"success.txt": >"failed.txt")
awk: ^ syntax error
awk: print (($1==$2)?>"success.txt": >"failed.txt")
awk: ^ syntax error
I can use if/else, but want to know the same with Ternary syntax possibility and maybe where am I using redirection > wrong?
awk -F',' 'if ($1==$2) print >"success.txt";else print >"failed.txt"' infile.txt
awk

Make the ternary operator choose only the file, not the redirection:
awk -F',' 'print >(($1==$2)?"success.txt": "failed.txt")'
