Thanks
But something is awry.

OKAY, If I do:
nawk -f jeffawk file2 file1
------------------------
apples,pears,bananas,oranges,grapefruit,watermelon,pineapple
epples,pears,bananas,oranges,grapefruit,watermelon,pineapple

epples,paars,bananas,oranges,grapefruit,watermelon,pineapple

graby,epples,bananas,oranges,grapefruit,watermelon,pineapple

This is basically a cat of file1.


If I do:
nawk -f jeffawk file1 file2
I get the following:
-----------------------
pearsrs,apples,bananers,orangas,grapefruit,graby,pineapples

apples,pears,bananas,oranges,grapefruit,watermelon,pineapple



The first line, 'pearsrs', is right on the money. But this is basically a cat of file2.


Not sure
