Hi,

at the moment I am writing some code; such as follows....

How can I get the following code to process until I find every line containing Test, at the moment the prog. is working sequentially - ie from top to bottow, which I don't want...

{
i=1
while( $0 ~ /TEST/){
print FNR > "/tmp/list1"
getline < &quot;/tmp/list1&quot;
list1 = $0
print list1
i++
}

what do you want ??
grep TEST filename | reverse > output
write a reverse-prg, sun-bsd OS have one
i can post you a reverse-prg. -----------
when they don't ask you anymore, where they are come from, and they don't tell you anymore, where they go ... you'r getting older !
