Subject: [9fans] trailing newline in awk
Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:15:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201201261315.09613.dexen.devries@gmail.com> (raw)
hi list,
can't wrap my head around this: in an awk script, how to take some action if a
file lacks last trailing Line Feed?
i want to modify files with contents like:
text LF
text LF
text
and leave undisturbed files with content like:
text LF
text LF
text LF
in other words, i want to either:
- match line that is empty and is last line of file (awk doesn't seem to take
any action on such line), or, alternatively,
- match a line that is last line of file and lacks terminating LF.
