"Too many Output Files"

[sergio2003]

Hello Brothers:

Y Have the next script ( ksh - Solaris):



#!/usr/bin/ksh

/usr/bin/cat /home/peri/Sergio/Mosaix/account.20040916 | /usr/bin/grep "/dev/pts/" | /usr/bin/awk '

BEGIN { FS = "/" }

{ a = 1
b = substr($6,a,a)

while ( b != "!" )
{
a = a+1
b = substr($6,a,1)

}
d = a -1
c = substr($6,1,d)
open ( c )
print $0 >> c
close ( c )

} '


BUT I get the next error "awk :Too many output files 10"
My idea is read a file (account.20040916 ) and create new files with some segments got from the account.20040916 file.

Any idea my friends?

Thanks in advance.

Sergio

Get rid of the unneeded open(c) statement.

Hope This Helps, PH.

Don't you have the xpg4 version of awk in Solaris ?

Thanks,
1.- Where can I find and Download the xpg4?
2.- How can I see the version of the awk?
3.- Can I also install the XPG4 in a HP-UNIX?

Thanks in advance.

if on Solaris, try using nawk instead of awk.
