Print date at END clause of AWK
Hi to all! I 'm new in unix programing so... may be I decided a wrong tool to solve the problem but anyway... all road goes to rome jajaja.
My question is: There is any way to print date at the END clause of an AWK script. I mean, I'm writing a tool with AWK and the results are redirected to a file.
Some thing like:
BEGIN{
"date" |getline;
print >>TestLog.log
}
These lines works "sweetly" at the BEGIN clause... but it doesn't at the END clause.
I'm working on a HP-UX (unknow version
![Stick Out Tongue Smilie](https://www.unix.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
)
I know that this is not actually a big challenge (jajaja) but I googled as much I could without results.
How could I log the end of the AWK script execution?
Thanks matrixmadhan for you support
