Hello World,
As a novice to the Awk programming language, i'm having a
problem with my script.
First, i'm reading a data file using the getline function;
Secondly, i'm assigning the data line to $0;
Next, i'm selecting the first 5 lines from another data file
using the head command and redirecting the output to a file.
Next, i want to print $0 and append it to the file containing the 5
lines. This statement does not execute.
Does anyone have an answer?  The script follows.

                                       Thanks
                                      Regina Dawley
