Put lines of a file in an array with awk
Hello,

Is there any way in awk to put every line of a file in an array and so we can like this print the line we want.

For example, if we have this file
Code:
aaa eee
bbb fff
ccc ggg
ddd hhh

So we can print to the output the 3rd line only
Code:
ccc ggg

If it is possible, please put the code and thx in advance.

Regards,
