from gawk to nawk 1

[tini1208]

dear all,

i've got a code, written in awk. it also worked in gawk, but now i only have the nawk available and it doesn't work anylonger.

so...here is the code:

awk '(x-$1)*((x>$1)+(-1*(x<$1)))>2{++f}\{print>"outfile"f;x=$1}' infile

this code searches for differences in the first column, which are larger than 2 and splits the file into pieces by this.
what changes? i hope anybody can help me!!

thanks a lot!!!

nawk '(x-$1)*((x>$1)-(x<$1))>2{++f}{print>("outfile"f);x=$1}' infile

dear all,

i am using the code above and i am wondering, why the code abords after the creation of 60 files. is there a maxiumum number of files, which can be created during one cycle?

regards, tini
