Gawk output separated by tab
In the gawk below, I am trying to output the file tab-deliminated but don't think that is the correct syntax. Thank you Smilie.

Code:
 gawk OFS='/t' '{sub(/-[0-9]+/,"",$2); ar[$2]=$0}
            END{n = asort(ar)
                for (i = 1; i <= n; i++)
                     print ar[i]}' file
