Shell Programming and Scripting

As vgersh99 mentioned, use nawk or /usr/xpg4/bin/awk on Solaris.

Regards

Thank you very much guys and to everyone who helped me.

Kind of weird about the whole awk vs. nawk in Solaris
I've got scripts that use awk (on Solaris) yet for the following I must use nawk
Anyway the code below works when substituting awk w/ nawk.

Code:

##nawk works
Hulk-BASH$ nawk '/^START_LABEL/{p=1;next}/^END_LABEL/{exit}p' somefile.txt
stuff I want
more stuff I want

Hulk-BASH$ awk '/^START_LABEL/{p=1;next}/^END_LABEL/{exit}p' somefile.txt
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1
Hulk-BASH$

Thank you very much you guys have no idea as I'm new to sed and awk/nawk and I still find all this stuff foreign.
