Assistance needed.
the command "nawk" returns the error command cannot be found in my unix system.
Is there a specific library i need to have to use this command?
I tried, the whereis command and it returns nothing.
if there is nothing to do, what command can i use to replace this nawk command?

Appreciate some help here. thanks in advance.

hi,

try this command #man nawk. If the manual for nawk is not installed,try typing #nawk -? . This should display parameters & format to use it.

If you don't find nawk command post your problem there is always another way to accomplish the task.And for unix at least this is true.

It sounds to me that nawk is simply not in your path, if indeed it is installed in your system.
You could use awk...

My operating is actually linux, don't linux cater for this command?
