I guess I've been saving up my dumb questions the last couple of days...
What's the syntax for grabbing everything to the end of the line in awk?
I've dug thru my sed&awk book but can't seem to find it even though I'm
sure I've seen it in there before.
The entire line is $0 as in...
awk '$4>6 {print $0}' infile > outfile
That stores every line where the fourth field exceeds 6.
The annoying limitation in awk is that you can't give a range of fields
like "$5-$12" or whatever. You can use 'cut' for that, but it parses the
line a little differently unless you use perl or somesuch to preprocess
the line. I know there is an awk mode in perl that probably deals with
this problem well, but I haven't used it. Jon King and Stephen M-S seem
to be the local experts on that.
