Parse 2 or more files into one.
Hi,
I have a really simple question...I think. I want to be able to parse two or more files into one by reading the first record from each file into new file then go back to the first file and start reading the second record in from each file into new file and so on. I am new to using awk and am not a programmer. I have played around and researched a bit and have only managed to read in the first rcord from each file and then it stops. (by using nextfile) I need to loop some how and keep track of where I am. I have hacked around with programming enough to be dangerous!
I do understand for loops, while next etc.. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.

nsd-checkconf
nsd-checkconf(8) nsd 3.2.12 nsd-checkconf(8)
NAME
nsd-checkconf - NSD configuration file checker.
SYNOPSIS
nsd-checkconf [-v] [-h] [-o option] [-z zonename] [-s keyname] configfile
DESCRIPTION
nsd-checkconf reads a configuration file. It prints parse errors to standard error, and performs additional checks on the contents. The
configfile format is described in nsd.conf(5).
The utility of this program is to check a config file for errors before using it in nsd(8) or zonec(8). This program can also be used for
shell scripts to access the nsd config file, using the -o and -z options.
OPTIONS
-v After reading print the options to standard output in configfile format. Without this option, only success or parse errors are
reported.
-h Print usage help information and exit.
-o option
Return only this option from the config file. This option can to be used in conjunction with the -z option. The special value zones
prints out a list of configured zones.
This option is primarily used by nsdc to parse the config file from the shell. If the -z option is given, but the -o option is not
given, nothing is printed.
-s keyname
Prints the key secret (base64 blob) configured for this key in the config file. Used to help shell scripts parse the config file.
-z zonename
Return the option specified with -o for zone 'zonename'.
If this option is not given, the server section of the config file is used. This option is primarily used by nsdc to parse the con-
fig file from the shell.
The -o, -s and -z option print configfile options to standard output.
