Problem piping find output to awk, 1st line filename is truncated, other lines are fine.
Today I needed to take a look through a load of large backup files, so I wrote the following line to find them, order them by size, and print the file sizes in GB along with the filename. What happened was odd, the output was all as expected except for the first output line which had the filename heavily truncated. I thought the problem might be with that particular file name, so I reversed the sort order, again the first filename was heavily truncated, this time a different file which had been listed correctly before I changed the ordering. [Note: I used '**' as a field seperator for awk, none of the filenames contain the string '**'.]
So I wrote the script below to create some dirs and files with different lengths and simplified the command line. Please have a look at what happens with the different find commands below, can someone explain why the first line always has the filename truncated as I can't work out why it is. Thanks.
Thanks all.

I did not understand why the following did not work out as I expected:

Alright, I'm sure there's a more efficient way to do this... I'm not an expert by any means. What I'm trying to do is search a file for lines that match the two input words (first name, last name) in order to remove that line. The removal part is what I'm struggling with. Here is my code:

Hi,
I have Solaris-10 server. /usr/ucb/ps auxww is showing full path if I am running it from root. But if I run it from non-root user, its output is truncated. I don't want to use any other alternate command.
Please suggest, what can be its solution.

Hello,
I have some code that works more or less. This is called by a make file to adjust some hard-coded definitions in the src code.

IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)NAME
igawk - gawk with include files
SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...

DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).
AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like
@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
BEGIN {
while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
...
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
