Ctsgnb & Ygor,

Yes, the size of the file that we are talking is pretty small only 60 lines or so and hence I thought this could be the *easy* way out.

Ygor, I shall post any further questions or thoughts once I go to work & run this.

Thanks a bunch Ygor & I assure you that all of your efforts are sincerely appreciated.

regards,
PGonzalez.

Ctsgnb & Ygor,

This script was working fine for me till day before yesterday. I had to make some changes by adding few columns which have null values or spaces. So, when I run the same script, it is giving me the following error -


awk: illegal primary in regular expression *, * at , *
input record number 1, file file1
source line number 3


I did happen to look at the correct number of arguments passed to awk and they are made to match to the number of columns. However Im seeing this error. I have spent atleast 4 hours on this and I did not make any dent into the error. I even did which awk and it should /usr/bin/awk.

By the way, I using bash.

Please help me & stop this hair loss.

regards,
PG.
