Ok, the code from rdcwayx seems to work some way, but there's a thing that i don't understand, for exmaple in my file I have these lines:

5143 execve("/bin/ls", ["ls"], [/* 38 vars */] <unfinished ...>
5143 <... execve resumed> ) = 0

awk 'NR==FNR && !/resumed>/ {a[$1]=$0;b[$1]=$NF}
NR>FNR && /resumed>/ {$NF=b[$1] FS $NF; a[$1]=$0}
END { for (i in a) print a[i]}' urfile urfile

and I need to write this:

5143 execve("/bin/ls", ["ls"], [/* 38 vars */] <unfinished ...> <... execve resumed> ) = 0

but it only writes:

5143 <... execve resumed> ) = ...> 0

thank you for helping me, I very appreciate that Smilie

NAME
igawk - gawk with include files SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ... igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ... DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1). AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like @include getopt.awk in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path. OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports. EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk @include getopt.awk BEGIN { while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1) ... } EOF igawk -f test.awk SEE ALSO
