<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi,<br>
Can't test this now, and am a very novice awk user, but if column
3 was <u>not</u> sorted, would only the last contiguous set of
records be in the output file(s)?<br>
In other words, when does awk close the output file, and would
'>>' be safer than '>' ?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
