[Solved] awk oddity
I have to apologize for my ignorance so this question is probably stupid.

How does awk process a file? Does it read from top of input file to end of file going line by line?

Yoda helped me create an awk script that helps me parse the named.conf file and output it into a .csv file but when entries below what its processing are commented out with // it breaks.

Since I don't want to have duplicate forum entries that script can be found here if you want to look at the script.

This forum post is trying to understand how awk processes and why it might fail to read text when entries below are commented out. It consistently does this throughout the entire named.conf so its consistent.
