Dear Experts,


Can any one guide me to how can I locate position of AWK output text in specific (raw, col) all the time. i.e. I want to override auto scrolling feature .


Thanks for Help

Hi

You can print $NR from awk to get the position of a certain pattern in awk. $NF will give you the total number of fields.

Thank you ,,

Actually I'm reffering to setting (enforcing) the location of awk output to specific row,col on the screen .

Thanks again for help,
Fras

The 'auto scrolling' feature is your shell NOT awk. Why don't you pipe the output from awk into 'more' or redirect your output to a file and view it from there?

awk '{doStuff}' yourFile | more
awk '{doStuff}' yourFile > newFile
