Michael,
Thank you very much for your response and awk script. Much obliged.
I am a complete newbie to awk (although I do have the Dougherty and
Robbins text on sed and awk on hand).
When I execute awk with the script as you instruct, it creates an output
file that is unchanged from the input file. I used the fully qualified
path for the awk command, awkscript.awk, input and output files.
However, I'm unable to get it to work.
I'm running gnu awk 3.1.0, Red Hat 7.2. awk on my machine is a symbolic
link to gawk.
John
