Nawk problem – input string too long

by bmw . Updated 23 years, 8 months ago

Hi,

I was wondering if one of you have the answer to the following problem :

I am using an (n)awk script on SCO Unix to read in variables from an input file, and output them in a particular order.
However, when I outut my long line of data, there is some junk tagged onto the end (looks like one of the earlier variables).
I tried running the script through with the output print line commented out (to see if it still print the rougue data) and I got the following error message –
“Input string too long, limit 200”

I guess that this could have something to do with the rougue data apearing at the end of my print output(?)

Any ideas?
