awk - split function
Hi,
I have some output in the form of:
#output:
abc123
def567
hij890
ghi324
the above is in one column, stored in the variable x ( and if you wana know about x... x=sprintf(tolower(substr(someArray[2],1,1)substr(userArray[1],3,1)substr(userArray[4],2,1)))
when i simply print x (print x) I get the above output. so it work.
I want to make an array of the above output so that each single username (abc123) is stored in a new array . (ex: usrArray[1]="abc123" and usrArray[2]="def567")
So I use the split function as:
split(x,usrArray,"\n");
well... when I print usrArray[1], instead of just giving me abc123, i get the same results of the variable x, or sometimes different ...
any help ?
regards
