Hi (and sorry for this slightly OT question),

I would like to extract the second last field of each line of a file
called user.csv .
So I try
   > awk '{print $(NF-1)}' user.csv
    awk: trying to access out of range field -1
     input record number 1, file user.csv
     source line number 1

Obviously $(NF-1) doesn't do the trick. Any better idea?


Hmmm, works for me it does...
Sorry: Actually the first line of my user.csv was empty.

Thanks though,

Uli.
