Thanks for the tip, but I must be doing something wrong.
First I copy and paste this command:
awk ‘{ print $1 >> “col-1.txt”
print $2 >> “col-2.txt” }’ input.txt
Then I drag the source file to the command line and press Enter, which produces
this error message:
awk: syntax error at source line 1
context is
>>> ? <<<
missing }
awk: bailing out at source line 1
Two text files are produced, but the one named "col-1.txt" is blank and the
"col-2.txt" has this line, repeated three times:
}’ input.txt/Users/davidbrostoff/Desktop/Sample2010-2011.txt
