whitespace at the beginning of line

[BIS]

Hallo all,

Could someone quickly refresh my tired mind please.

I have two lines that look like:

First Name: John
Last Name: Doe


and I would like to merge that to one line <name>John Doe</name>.

/^ First Name/ { gsub(/&/,"and") pr(); first = $2 ; next }
/^ Last Name/ { pr(); $0 = "<name>" first " " $2 "</name>"
print; next}


but I only get this result

<name> </name>

What am I missing here?

 

[BIS]

Never mind...

I had a wrongly defined FS

Please post your solution, thanks.
