cat to awk question

[gsopitan]

I have to files say file1 and file2. They both have the same fields. I want to append file1 to file2 and then run an awk script on it.

I tried;

cat file1 > file2 | awk -f scriptname.awk but it didn't work. Any ideas would be appreciated.

 

[PHV]

awk -f scriptname.awk file1 file2

Hope This Helps, PH.

Or just remove the ">" from your original command.

Indeed! I do like to experiment with the many ways of skinning them though....
