another awk question

Comment:

Suppose you have this table: /home% cat file1 6 fish salmon 1abc1 4 bird parrot 1abc2 9 dog boxer 1abc3 5 insect ant 1abc4 What I need to do is to replace all field 4 with the word "pet" then a dash (-) the the number that appears on field 1. The output should be: 6 fish salmon pet-6 4 bird parrot pet-4 9 dog boxer pet-9 5 insect ant pet-5 Thanks! ~narsman
