Hi,
I'm using AWK to try to extract data from multiple files (*.txt). The script should look for a flag that occurs at a specific position in each file and it should return the data to the right of that flag.
I should end up with one line for each file, each containing 3 columns:
Filename1.txt Data1 MoreData1
Filename2.txt Data2 MoreData2
Filename3.txt Data3 MoreData3
The trouble is, my output seems to be as follows:
Filename1.txt
Filename2.txt Data1 MoreData1
Filename3.txt Data2 MoreData2
I'm not sure what I've done wrong because I'm still struggling with the syntax and structure of AWK. Any idea what is wrong?
I'm very new to UNIX, AWK, etc. so simple language would be appreciated (if possible).
Thanks
Here's the code I have, it's in a file called "extract_data_from_files.awk":
I run it from the konsole window using:

igawk - gawk with include files
SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).

@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

...
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
