Thanks Don, I though that ARGV is GNUmagic.
So my first example should be improved like this
And works nicely with shell wildcards like file*!
BTW most awk versions want if (... ~ "=") instead of if (... ~ /=/), even outside a {block}.
They have a problem to parse the characters ()= within / / but not within " ".

As I know:
FNR: The ordinal number of the current record in the current file.
NR: The ordinal number of the current record from the start of input.
I don't understand really differency between NR and FNR. Who can explain it for me? And give me an example.

Hi Guys,
I have two files:

I would like f3 too look like this:

Hi,
Is there anyway to alter this command so that if it does not find a match it will just leave the line alone instead of replacing what it doesn't find with a blank space? (4 Replies)

Hi,
I have an issue with the below script
nawk 'NR==FNR{a=$4" "$5}NR>FNR{print NF?$0:a"\n";if(/^cn:/) x=$0}' FS="" in1.txt in2.txt > out1.txt
It is taking too long to get a string from in1.text, search for the string in in2.txt and create a new file out1.txt.

Perl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitLabelsWUserpContriPerl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitLabelsWithSpecialBlockNames(3)NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitLabelsWithSpecialBlockNames - Don't use labels that are the same as the special block
names.
AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION
When using one of the special Perl blocks "BEGIN", "END", "CHECK", "INIT", and "UNITCHECK", it is easy to mistakenly add a colon to the end
of the block name. E.g.:
# a BEGIN block that gets executed at compile time.
BEGIN { <...code...> }
# an ordinary labeled block that gets executed at run time.
BEGIN: { <...code...> }
The labels "BEGIN:", "END:", etc. are probably errors. This policy prohibits the special Perl block names from being used as labels.
CONFIGURATION
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
