UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

[SIZE=1]Hello friends,

I was wondering if you can help me with probably a simple function to you all: the sample looks and has this format. I was wondering how I could extract the first and second column starting including the line 'E/N and Ko' and not stop until there are no more lines. Thank you for all your help. I want to note that for your help I do donate to this forum.

Code:

awk '{ if (NR>8) {print $1, $2} else {continue}}' transport.txt > newfile

Let's try this first.

I get this error

awk: (FILENAME=transport FNR=1) fatal: `continue' outside a loop is not allowed

Thanks

Hello

I tried it and got a similar err. But I took the offered solution and dropped out the 'else' part of the statement.

Code:

 awk '{ if (NR>8) { print $1, $2 } }' /tmp/transport.txt > newfile

worked perfectly

yrs


Michael

my bad - continue should be "next" or not there at all.

Jim:

Code:

ant:/test $ awk '{ if (NR>8) {print $1, $2} else {continue}}' transport.txt > newfile
ant:/test $ more newfile
