Many versions of awk limit the length of a line to LINE_MAX bytes. The value of LINE_MAX on your system can be found using getconf LINE_MAX). But it looks like there is an off by one error that is causing your problem here. Try changing:
Code:
for(i=1;i<length;i++) {
to:
Code:
for(i=1;i<=length;i++) {
i think i got what i need for
but i noticed 9 remains same

Moderator's Comments:
Please use CODE tags. Trying to line up input and output is hard enough without the problems caused by variable width fonts used outside of CODE tags.

``name = value''.
