Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting awk can't open file; file merge attempt Post 303023081 by A_Human_Person on Tuesday 11th of September 2018 12:44:05 PM

Ah! Apologies for the asterisks!

It is just called FileA; there is no trailing asterisk. I think the asterisks may have arisen in conversion to the code boxes that allow for clearer display here.

Anyway, no asterisks either in the files, or in the error readout!

Unless I have somehow non-visual characters in the code, which I have mistaken for white space, in which case, that could explain why these asterisks have appeared in each box?
