awk and save result on a different file
Hi,
If I type:

ls -l *txt awk '{print $8}'

I get the file listing if I am in the directory.

If I try to do the same from a job flow, doing also other things, I can't do

ls -l directory/*txt awk '{print $8}' > directory/result.txt
or
echo ls -l directory/*txt awk '{print $8}' > directory/result.txt

The error I get is:

line 25: unexpected end of file

I tried to put " or ' from the beginning but nothing.

Are the number of files in the directory too many?

I am testing with a directory with 8 files only in total.

These commands are working fine. Is it part of a script or just the commands you have executed on the prompt ?

Sorry people, I got it (partially)

At the very top of the flow there was an extra '

now works but I am not happy with the format of the file:

#!/bin/tcsh

##set log = /com/3d/SB11/log_999.txt


echo "ls -l full_path/[5-6]????* awk '{print $8}'" >> $log

nedit $log
Opening the file log_999.txt with nedit I would like to see
file1
filte2
...

But I have
<esc>[00/dir/file1<esc>[00m<esc>[00m/dir/file2<esc>[00m
