awk - print new line
Hi!
Could you pls help me with my problem?
My task is to find the longest line in several files - that's not the problem
the problem is, I want command bellow to be stored in array, but one result per line:
Code:
set line = (`cat $file | awk '{print NR, length, $0, "\n"}' | grep "^[0-9]* $longest"`)

the output of command
Code:
foreach r ($line)
    echo "Output: $r"
end

is:

Output: 2
Output: 2
Output: 22
Output: 3
Output: 2
Output: aa

but it should look like this:
Output: 2 2 22
Output: 3 2 aa

(in other words - I need command set line..... to be an array of lines, not words)

thanks a lot
