All,

Newbie help required for awk in skipping the first match.

I have a file that has two occurrences of "while(1)". I need to skip the
first one and replace the second one with "while (x>MAXLOOP)" - how can I
accomplish this? Pl note that the number of lines between the two "while"
occurrences is not same for all files being processed.

Any help???

Thanks!!
