It breaks down like this:
awk = The command; it takes two parameters. Param 1: The script. Param 2: A
Path to the source file.
‘{ print $1 >> “col-1.txt”
print $2 >> “col-2.txt” }’ = The Script, everything between the single quotes.
This script is printing or saving column 1 ($1) to a file called col-1.txt and
column 2 ($2) to col-2.txt.
input.txt = Source file
Does that help?
