awk command behaving differntly on 2 servers--urgent
Hi
I am using awk command for string replacement.
I have 2 servers. The command runs perfectly well on 1st server
On the second server when i run the command on the same datset
The command gets stuck while processing a large piece of record..

Does it have anything to with setting on the 2 servers..or is ot something else

The command i have been using is

awk '{sub(/.*<abc>/,"");print}' | awk '{sub(/<\/abc>.*/,"END");print}'

Thanks!!

Are these two machines similar? Do they run the same OS? The same version of the same OS? The same version of awk?

Details, please.
