Thanks for the reply, Klashxx.
But I get back an error message:
awk: Syntax error next to line 1
awk: Bailing out near line 1
I entered the sequence (with fitting filenames) at the prompt, so did not write it to a file and start that, right ?
Both files are in the same directory. Same error also when I add the path.
What could be the reason ?
OS is Solaris 9 and awk is - of course - on the machine.
Are there versions of awk that do not understand all command switches ?
Does anyone knwo an other solution for my problem maybe ?
Thanks in advance.
