Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Use awk to pipe output from one file into multiple files Post 302637967 by codestar1 on Wednesday 9th of May 2012 04:18:43 PM

${lfile} is the file being parsed. Do I need to pass that as a variable as well?

I keep getting this error:

Code:
awk: (FILENAME=RESPONSE_2012.txt FNR=1) fatal: expression for `>' redirection has null string value

Shamrock, thank you!! you provided the correct code. I discovered my variable that provided the delimiter type was coming as a null string. Once that was fixed, it worked fine.

Thanks Again!
