this is the limitation of awk.
If you have gawk, try it.
If you're under Solaris, try /usr/xpg4/bin/awk.
# 25  
Old 06-04-2008
oh is it, i have only awk, gawk is not working, and am on HP, please help
# 26  
Old 06-04-2008
sorry, if this the only awk you have and it has the limitation, someone else will have to help you with other tools.

what version of HP-UX do you have?
Dpending on the version, you might have multiple awk available to you:
Code:
HP-UX 09.05 (HP-UX 09.05 A 9000/735)
  	/app/itools/bin/gawk 	/app/itools/bin/igawk 	/usr/bin/awk 	/usr/intel/bin/gawk /usr/intel/bin/igawk 	/usr/local/bin/gawk

HP-UX 10.20 (HP-UX 10.20 A 9000/839)
	/usr/bin/awk 	/usr/local/bin/mawk

HP-UX 11.0 (HP-UX 9000/800)
  	/usr/bin/awk

HP-UX 11.11 (HP-UX 11.11 9000/800)
  	/sbin/awk 	/usr/bin/awk
