Thank You MadeInGermany; The first solution did work; however the second solution did produce the same output as my post (not able to recognize ; as RS) Can you please explain how
Code:
[@]
different is to that of a simple ones;
Code:
awk -F "@"....
Code:
awk -F "[@]"...
I am not able to understand the difference as I am learning awk
Edit:
Does [] ignore the conventional "\n" as RS unless specified other than this in all cases and does awk -F "@" considers the RS as "\n" when the specified RS is not specified or found in the entire line..
