Full Discussion: single output of awk script processing multiple files
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers single output of awk script processing multiple files Post 302342584 by Kasimir on Monday 10th of August 2009 09:26:44 AM

There is just one more problem:

Every input file is not to be read completely - only up to the position of the appearance of a certain string. Once this string is read, awk should stop processing the current file and start on the next one, until all input-files are processed.

My idea was something like this:

if ($1=="exit_string)
"go to the next input_file"

If all input files are read, exit.

My problem is, that I don't know how I could realize the "go to the next input_file" command. If I would just use the exit command, instead of the "go to next file", awk would quit after reading the first input file.

Does anybody have an idea?
