ARGC # of command lines arguments FILENAME name of current input file FNR record number in current file FS controls the input field separator NF number of fields in current record NR number of records read so far OFMT output format for numbers OFS out filed separator ORS output record separtor RLENGTH lenght of string matched by match function RS controls the input record separator SUBSEP subscript separtor thanks again!
