    getline question

    This question concerns getlinel; My understanding of getline is that once it is used; the new value of $0 is used in testing against the patterns of any subsequent rules, may this e prevented & if so how?

    awk pattern matching

    OK I can see where you're coming from... apoligies, firstly the for was for tesing purposes.... so in reality I am using; /uid:/ { split ($0, a, &quot; &quot;) print a[6] } The pattern /uid/ filters out all of the uids in the log.file ( this is a really big file); so I get a list of names...

    awk pattern matching

    awk file seperator

    Hi Ed. Sorry my question is unclear.... what I wish to do is use the single quotation as my file seperator, or rather use two single quotations i.e. ' ' as the file seperator, this however I am having problems with as I believe awk interprets a single guotation mark as the end of script...
