If you need more than that you can do something like this:
NF==35 && $2<5 {print "I see 35 columns on this line and column 2 is less
than 5"}
I guess that is what Russell was saying too.
Tomas,
It turns out that the switch/case statement works when the whole thing is
enclosed in curly braces because it's all part of the action response. So it
would look like this:
{ switch (NF) {
case 1:
...
case 2:
...
}
}
But, using the number of fields as the pattern does make it easier to
read:
NF == 36 { print .... }
Thanks,
Rich
