Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Printing string from last field of the nth line of file to start (or end) of each line (awk I think) Post 303012572 by samonl on Tuesday 6th of February 2018 06:30:35 AM

Hi,

Thank you for trying. I have got to go and teach now though. I had to resave both files on this mac using TextEdit and whatever the default encoding was (UTF-8 I think). I made the awk one with ancient dredged up emacs muscle memories. Thanks - to be honest the subject id is good enough and it's not hard to get rid of a leading , which why I marked it solved. The files (not big) are attached - I had to edit the original output to remove potential identifier (hastily after I had posted it including it..).
