Writing fields from one line to multiple files

[jping45]

I have command output that has 10 fields in it. I want to pass $1, $3, $4, $5 to some formatting commands and $7 to a temp file. Any suggestions?

Hi jping45

How about

{
printf ("%s %s %s %s\n", $1, $3, $4 ,$5)
print $7 > "tmp.dat"
}

Change the printf statement to format the fields appropriately.

Hope this helps.
