create several files

[kubabuk]

Hi there,

I was just wondering what I am doing wrong? I wanted to save output in multiply files. but only test2.txt has a content.

awk 'BEGIN {vara = "test"; for (i =1; i <= 20; i++) print vara i }' > c:/test.txt > c:/test2.txt

Btw. Is it possible to have loops in loops in awk?

Thanks for help

Hi

[tt]awk[/tt] can write to files itself.

awk 'BEGIN {vara = "test"; for (i =1; i <= 20; i++) { print vara i > "test"i".txt"; close("test"i".txt") }}'
