I'm learning more AWK basics and wrote function to read file, sort,
print. I use GNU AWK (gawk) and its sort but printing is harder to get
working than anything... separate lines work, but when I use printf() or
set ORS then use print (for words one line) all awk outputs (on FreeBSD
UNIX 14 and Slackware GNU/Linux 15) is a space (and not even newline
before shell prompt)... is this normal (and I made mistake?) or am I
approaching it wrong? I recall BASIC prints new lines, but as I learned
basic C and some derivatives, I'm used to newlines only being specified...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
# print_file_words.awk
# pass filename to function
BEGIN { print_file_words("data.txt"); }
# read two-column array from file and sort lines and print
function print_file_words(file) {
# set record separator then use print
# ORS=" "
while(getline<file) arr[$1]=$0
PROCINFO["sorted_in"]="@ind_num_asc"
for(i in arr)
{
split(arr[i],arr2)
# output all words or on one line with ORS
print arr2[2]
# output all words on one line without needing ORS
#printf("%s ",arr2[2])
}
}
