I've wanted to use it for a few years now, but could never get past the man page to know how it "should" be done. p.s. This is a different Josiah! That was a great intro to awk.

Very much appreciated. I did not use a dollar sign in front of that entry to show the value value of "NF" which can be seen as a constant or predefined variable. When you put a dollar sign in front of NF, you are saying give me the value of the NF'th variable. Yeah, reCaptcha is _awesome_ I was getting 100 spam a day before... Josiah,

Does NF not need to have a $ in front of it since it's a variable or is it just a typo? I'm thinking typo since everywhere else it is as expected, but I thought it might be an awk oddity. $ echo a b c d e f | awk '{print NF}' :-) I like the reCaptcha. I use it on my blog too. A great way to do something with an annoying necessity. In your entry, which I’m going to keep around for reference (thanks) you wrote this.

$ echo a b c d e f | awk ‘{print NF}’

Thanks for reminding me about a sometimes better way to do things! Cool – I’ve frankly forgotten about awk (and sed) lately, though I used to use them quite a bit.
