Hi,
I'd like to process multiple files. For example:
file1.txt
file2.txt
file3.txt
Each file contains several lines of data. I want to extract a piece of data and output it to a new file.
file1.txt ----> newfile1.txt
file2.txt ----> newfile2.txt
file3.txt ----> newfile3.txt
Here is an example of what an input file and an output file could look like:
file1.txt
---------
line1
line2
line3
newfile1.txt
------------
line2
So, in this case, the awk script would extract line2 from each input file. That part is ok. I need to know how to create the multiple output files which contain the extracted data (ie. line2).
Any help would be greatly appreciated
