Printing in awk

Hi,

i am new to the awk command.

awk '{if(length < 104)}' table_name
echo "LENGTH ERROR: Record U length is not correct; expected 104 received:" length of table_name

Re: Printing in awk

Im not sure what you mean by length of table

to get the length of each line try this

awk '{ print length($0) }' table_name.txt
