How to remove underscore character with awk
I have a file as below:
This is an _PLUTO_
This is _PINEAPPLE_
This is _ORANGE_
This is _RICE_
I'm using below code to extract the output:
awk '{ print "Country: " $NF }' report.txt
Output:
Country: _PLUTO_
Country: _PINEAPPLE_
Country: _ORANGE_
Country: _RICE_
How do I remove all the underscore so that my output looks below:
Country: PLUTO
Country: PINEAPPLE
Country: ORANGE
Country: RICE

You can use this snippet:
$ awk '{ gsub("_", "", $NF); print "Country: " $NF }' report.txt
Country: PLUTO
Country: PINEAPPLE
Country: ORANGE
Country: RICE
Note that gsub() will perform the modification in place, so it will store the result of the substitution back to $NF, in your case.
If you're using GNU awk, you can use gensub() instead, which is slightly simpler:
$ gawk '{ print "Country: " gensub("_", "", "g", $NF) }' report.txt
Country: PLUTO
Country: PINEAPPLE
Country: ORANGE
Country: RICE
See GNU awk documentation for gsub() and gensub() for more details.

try
awk -F_ '{ print "Country: " $(NF-1) }' infile
You could try sed instead.
sed -r 's/[^_]*_([^_]*)_.*/Country: 1/' infile
[^_]*_matches everything until a first_seen.
([^_]*)_matches everything after above match untill next_seen and.*matches everything after that, but only keep(...)part as a captured group.
1is the back-reference to the([^_]*)captured group.
