awk - storing multiple line data in variables
Hi Ygor,
Thanks for your prompt help.
Can we read the files form line 1 and 2 at one attempt through awk?
individually I am able to read the lines and redirect to variables.
Can I read both the lines together and redirect to 6 variables (I am refering to the file layout that you gave as example:
a|b|c
1|2|3
x|o|p
my t1.awk now looks as follows:
BEGIN{FS = "|"; RS = "\n"}
NR==2{print $1, $2 $3}
NR==1{print $1, $2}
then I wrote:
awk -f t1.awk abc.flag | read - and then I got confused as the $1 and $2 variables will overwrite the previous $1 and $2 variables.
How do I retain the values that I have read in the first line - (NR==2{print $1, $2 $3})
and then go over to the next line.
Hope I cud explain.
Regards,
Nilotpal.
