Need help with the syntax 1

[rogers42]

Contents of Data File:
123-2009-123-123
456-2008-123-0
789-2009-100-0

awk Code:

BEGIN {
# Set the field seprator
FS="-";
}

/2009/
{
print "Updating " $2 " data";
}
}

Output:

All lines are printed

I am executing my script as follows

cat test.dat | nawk -f update.awk

Can somebody please let me know where I am going wrong ?

Thanks in advance

You have an extra }

/2009/{
  print "Updating " $2 " data"
}

nawk -F- -f update.awk test.dat

Hope This Helps, PH.
