Of course it didn't read stdin. You did not provide anything on stdin. You would need for example a pipe to do that, like I did with the cat example.
And what code did you use? The one in https://www.unix.com/302466294-post9.html ? What error message did you get?

Well, i just finish testing... Awk is now good but it put all the lines into variable... So if i have 3 longest lines with same length, awk save all three to riadok... So it is not very good. But if awk find all longest lines from every file on input, how can i find the longest from the longest?

I need to get output from this to the variable riadok. It works, when i've got files with only one the longest line in each file. But when it is more than that in single file, it put all lines into single variable. How can i fix this? I tried these options:
But it doesn't work at all. Everytime it put all lines into single variable.
well, that error message was cant open file.... My fault... That automatic test provide som stdin and test it... But i wonder, how can i fix that awk, because if it is not possible, i must rewrite all this script and make it without awk. Probably it could be possible to do when i write a length of line to the line a sort it... I must chcecked it.

Ok, i finally get it... Well, i am really dumbass... I am sorry for all... My script is almost finished, i only must finish errors. So thank you, you saved my life...

it is in script. It will echo the number of characters from the longest line, but i need to print a number of line in file, and whole input should have a form:
Output: '<file>: <number of line> <length of line> <line>'
How can i make it without rewriting whole code?
it actually does the "length of line> <line>" But i need to force it have output in that form... Please help. I have tried to echo
Code:
"Output: '$@: '" and awk -F, '{if($2=="") print NR}'
should give numbers to lines. But how to make it at once?
It is working just nice... It now write all information i need... Except one... I need before that and after a '... How can i do that? Nearly our i tried " ' ` and nothing works... If you know how to do this, this is my last comment here...
That message should be coming from elsewhere in your script (a [ ] test ). What happens if you run the awk statement on the command line without the "$@" ?
Hello,
I have some code that works more or less. This is called by a make file to adjust some hard-coded definitions in the src code. The script generated some values by looking at some of the src files and then writes those values to specific locations in other files. The awk code is used to... (3 Replies)

Hello all,
I need to find the longest string in a select field and print that field.

Methods thus far:

Dear All,
To find the length of the longest line from a file i have used wc -L which is giving the proper output...
But the problem is AIX os does not support wc -L command.
so is there any other way 2 to find out the length of the longest line using awk or sed ?
