I'm lost. I've check everything and copied your work exactly. Could it be unix. Probably a stupid question.

Thanks

It could be you are on solaris running the crippled version of awk, Try using nawk instead.

there is no nawk, but there is a gawk, and i tried that but nothing is doing. I am using a government super computer called cobalt. I think it uses SGI propack 5. I dont know anything else.

Thanks, LEnny

I just ran the code on Linux - it works there as well. I would guess you have a broken awk implementation.

Code:
diff codeIuse  codeIgotfromNet

Nothing should show up.
