Use 'print' but suppress line break? 1

[paulobrads]

I have an awk command similar to this:

echo this is a hello world | awk '{ for(i=3; i<=NF; i++){ print $i }}'

So as to print the final 3 words of the string - however print puts a line break after each one so I get:

a
hello
world

How do I suppress this so I get it all on one line?

Cheers.

Hi

echo this is a hello world | awk [red]-vORS=[/red] '{ for(i=3; i<=NF; i++){ print $i }}'

[gray]# or[/gray]

echo this is a hello world | awk '{ for(i=3; i<=NF; i++){ print[red]f "%s",[/red]$i }}'

print the final 3 words

echo this is a hello world | awk '{for(i=NF-2;i<=NF;++i) printf "%s ",$i;printf "\n"}'

Hope This Helps, PH.
