I think you're saying you're essentially doing (in gawk): print $1 $2 > "tmptmp.txt"; print "#" > "tmptmp.txt"; And ending up with a "^M" in your file. First off, the second line would overwrite anything you did in the first line (you need to use a ">>" to APPEND data to an existing file...just like in the shell), and the "^M" probably indicates a carriage return in the file. If you changed the ORS (output record separator) to a carriage return from it's default value of newline, that's what you'd get. Patrick, this isn't the first time (or second or third) you've posted a question with absolutely no context about what you're trying to do. If you want help, you HAVE to tell us what you're trying to accomplish. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Admitting you have a problem is the first step toward getting - - medicated for it. -- Jim Evarts (http://www.TopFive.com) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
