Creating mailing labels using gawk!

Hello,

I've got another thread going in this forum section about calculating a particular field of data using a gawk script, but I need help on another issue.

I need to create mailing labels using a gawk script on a data file that looks like this:

Doe|John|12345 Main St.|Disneyland|CA|12345

and the file contains six records like the example above.

On this one I am really stumped and I'm not getting much help on my class forums either, strangely enough.

Where do I need to start?

Thanks so much,

Trellot Smilie

NAME
pbmupc - create a Universal Product Code bitmap SYNOPSIS
pbmupc [-s1|-s2] type manufac product DESCRIPTION
Generates a Universal Product Code symbol. The three arguments are: a one digit product type, a five digit manufacturer code, and a five digit product code. For example, "0 72890 00011" is the code for Heineken. As presently configured, pbmupc produces a bitmap 230 bits wide and 175 bits high. The size can be altered by changing the defines at the beginning of the program, or by running the output through pnmenlarge or pnmscale. OPTIONS
The -s1 and -s2 flags select the style of UPC to generate. The default, -s1, looks more or less like this: |||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||| 0||12345||67890||5 The other style, -s2, puts the product type digit higher up, and doesn't display the checksum digit: |||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||| 0|||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||| ||12345||67890|| SEE ALSO
