Help…
I have a bash script and within the script I have a variable TEMP which is loaded with space-delimited text from a short c-prog.
This prog always outputs 3 strings of data say: MOUSE CAT DOG. Using "echo $TEMP | awk '{ print $0 }' "I can get hold of either the 1st/2nd/3rd output variable to put into other progs. However the prog can also output n extra bits of info.
How can I, using awk , isolate all the output above the third (since the first three are always there)
Thanks

Hi - I am going to guess you are looking for something like:
echo $TEMP | awk '{for i=3; i printf "%s", $i; \
printf "%s\n", ""; \
}'
HTH, Guy
