Help adding newline

[SP68]

All,

I need help adding newline using awk and this is what I have for the input file:

DN: user1,ou=testing,o=abc
Changetype: modify
l: loca

DN: user2,ou=testing,o=abc
Changetype: modify
l" locb

I ran this command and it did not work.
awk '{print}/^Changetype:/{print "Delete: l"' /path/to/input > output

Please advice,

SP

awk '{print}/^Changetype:/{print "Delete: l"[highlight]}[/highlight]' /path/to/input > output

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks, it worked but it print everything on the same line.
I would like the output looks like this:

DN: user1,ou=testing,o=abc
Changetype: modify
Delete: l
l: loca

DN: user2,ou=testing,o=abc
Changetype: modify
Delete: l
l" locb


Thx,

Steve

Yes, it works but everything is printed it on the same line, which I don 't want it to be. I tried replace the print with printf /n and it did not work.

Please advise

Are you writing and reading your file on the same computer ?
