Data NAWK Heeeeeeeeelllllllpppp Please
Hello... I am fairly new to the UNIX world and I need some help with NAWK. I have a file that I need to pull the first and last name from. My problem is that the last name is not always in $2. Several are in $3 and $4 and I can't figure out how to distinguish.

Can someone Please help me?

Thanks!
Dianna
