Hi I need to have a ' caracter on the output using awk.

I'm using the follow awk instruction:

awk -F: '{print "hello 'a'", $1}' /etc/passwd

Try this instead: awk -F: '{print "hello \'a\'", $1}' /etc/passwd Regards Ole -- Windows: Where do you want to go today? MacOS: Where do you want to be tomorrow?
