Code:

;;;;0;1other hand
;;;;0;1e

Same with sed ...

If you are on Unix, ensure that your file does not have Windows end-of-line characters. The output of the command:

Code:
od -bc myfile

should not show any "\r" characters.

Try fixing the end-of-line character (as shown below) before running your awk script on the file.

Code:
dos2unix myfile
