Issues with awk and tcsh
Hello experts, I have two files which I'm uploading. One is an awk script and other file acts as an input to the script via positional parameter. awk -f intlmenu.awk jobsq.txt This run fine in C shell on SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.7. When I run it on Solaris 10 ( tcsh shell ) I get the following error Code:
awk -f intlmenu.awk jobsq.txt awk: string too long near line 103 awk: syntax error near line 103 awk: illegal statement near line 103 awk: newline in string near line 103 The 103 line in intlmenu script is as follows Code:
printf "echo \"Data File Start `head -1 %s.qca | awk -f /ychw/accts/firstlast.awk` Datafile End `tail -1 %s.qca | awk -f /ychw/accts/firstlast. awk` \" >>/tmp/$UETIME.txt \n",project[i],project[i] >> OutFile I suspect it is due to the c/tcsh shell's behavior since it complains about "Unmatched .".I have tried various combinations but have failed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The desired output is as follows Code:

Hi.
The underlying shell has likely nothing to do with it. On Solaris I would use /usr/xpg4/bin/awk or nawk. Try that first, before changing what might not be broken. |

Thanks Scott
I have used nawk and it worked fine. It is a migration project from Sco to Sun. It never occurred be about using nawk or /usr/xpg4/bin/awk. Once again thanks a million.
