[SGVLUG] awk question

[Ramsin Savra]

Right. I'm sure there is away to let the script know that this is not a SHELL variable like $0 or $?.
   
  I thought if I put it in  "" or ''  it would work but did not!
   
  you are right, it seems awk can handle all the things I want but I'm new to awk and very close to the deadline. Will study it later. 
   
  Thanks for your response.
   
  Regards,
  R.

HI Ramsin,

OK, 

1st, awk can handle ALL of the operations you
are attempting to do.

while I don't have time to present the code,
I would search the net for awk tutorials/examples
which do similar operations.

hmm.. ok, so in this case it is not reading
your $0 as the entire line .. instead it 
thinks it's the variable for the script...

hmmm.. dang, dont have access to a unix box right now.

anyone?
