RE: Simple AWK question

In all my years of using awk, this is the first time I've ever had to output a character to a file. For example, I have the following: sprintf(%s,%s\n, SiteVal, CustomerID) outputfile I suppose you could try sprintf(%c%s%c,%c%s%c\n, '', SiteVal, '', '', CustomerID, '')

I suppose you could try sprintf(%c%s%c,%c%s%c\n, '', SiteVal, '', '', CustomerID, '') outputfile awk: syntax error near line 13 awk: illegal statement near line 13 awk: newline in string near line 13 It is definatly baffling. MB -- e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Simple AWK question

Try using sprintf(%c, 042 ) and whatever else you need to complete this. In all my years of using awk, this is the first time I've ever had to output a character to a file. For example, I have the following: sprintf(%s,%s\n, SiteVal, CustomerID) outputfile I need the line in

Re: Simple AWK question

I dont have my GAWK manual handy, but I think your problem may be that you are using SPRINTF which is a print to string function as in str = sprintf() rather than something like fprintf() or printf() Not using gawk, using the original awk. Don't know if the original awk even supports fprintf()

Re: Simple AWK question

Your syntax error is that sprintf prints to a string buffer, not a file. Now, p'rhaps he wants fprintf, 'e does, Precious It is interesting how sprintf() filename has been working all the years. Probably for the wrong reason. MB -- e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
