Unhappy rs and ors in gawk ...????

dear members I have a good knowledge of gawk and seem to do quite well with it.. but I have never understood what the use of the rs and ors are for or how they are used.. i am thinking they are for seperating lines and paragraphs but i have absolutely no idea how to make it work, if that is what it is for..
any input or example welcome
thanx moxxx68:

Hmmm moxxx its hard to believe you have a good understanding of gawk if you are not sure what RS and ORS are used for. Check out the GNU.org side, search for Gawk documentation as there is a complete manual on Gawk that provides an indepth explanation of these key words. Read More Here...

Talking google you the man!

finally some text that I can understand a lilttle more clearly.. I have read a few books on sed, grep and awk and have found that in the awk department sometimes its hard to tell what the author is talking about exactly.. but this quite clear and infact i have book marked the whole home page of that site to look at some other things I haven't quite understood to well yet.. like get "getline", and some that i just need to brush up on...
thanx moxxx68
