Full Discussion: Use awk to have the fourth column with spaces

The command doesn't work ..
My output should not trim the spaces in the fourth field. It's not necessary to use awk command. Please tell me if there is any other way to extract the fourth field. The problem is that the fourth field is actually the file name in the ftp and I am automating it.
So, it has to copy the file.

Would request you to post explanation please...

stab

STAB(5) 							File Formats Manual							   STAB(5)

NAME

       stab - current PCMCIA socket status

DESCRIPTION

       The  stab  file is created by cardmgr and contains identification and device driver information for PCMCIA cards.  Each socket is described
       by one header line, followed by one or more device driver lines.  The header gives the card name as given  in  /etc/pcmcia/config.   Device
       driver  lines  consist  of  a series of tab-separated fields.  The first field is the socket number.  The second field is the device class,
       which identifies which script in /etc/pcmcia is used to configure or shut down this device.  The third  field  is  the  driver  name.   The
       fourth  field  is  used	to  number devices when a single card has several devices associated with the same driver.  The fifth field is the
       device name, and the final two fields are major and minor device numbers for this device, if appropriate.

       The file is updated by cardmgr whenever a card is inserted or ejected, and when cardmgr receives a SIGHUP signal.

       The stab file will normally be created in /var/lib/pcmcia, but if that directory is unavailable, it will be found in /var/run.
