Removing spaces added by awk

Comment:

Hi, I have a file f1 that contains the below line in it. /logo/jpg/CustArtRepository/04/04/0492304_CA001_300.jpg I am using the below awk command to extract 04/04 from it. awk -F"/" '{print $5,"/",$6}' f1 > f2 However, awk is printing it as "04 / 04". I want it as 04/04 (not with the spaces in it). Can some one help me? Thanks, Balaji.

Each comma in your print command is causing awk to insert a space at that position. Actually, awk inserts the current value of the Output Field Separator (OFS), which by default is set to a space. So what you want is: awk -F"/" '{print $5 "/" $6}' f1 > f2
