Hi,

My file has the following text

Code:

SGW|SGW_CDR_|2017-12-09 174338|2017-12-10 003143|2017-12-09

for the below command

Code:

tac file | awk '!NF {print};NF {if (n) {print} else {n=1}}'
I am expecting it to give the below output(1)(deleting last line)


Code:

SGW|SGW_CDR_|2017-12-09 174338|2017-12-10 003143|2017-12-09

SGW|SGW_CDR_|2017-12-09 174338|2017-12-10 003143|2017-12-09
instead,it is giving the below output(2).(deleting last 2 lines)


Code:

SGW|SGW_CDR_|2017-12-09 174338|2017-12-10 003143|2017-12-09
SGW|SGW_CDR_|2017-12-09 174338|2017-12-10 003143|2017-12-09
SGW|SGW_CDR_|2017-12-09 174338|2017-12-10 003143|2017-12-09
SGW|SGW_CDR_|2017-12-09 174338|2017-12-10 003143|2017-12-09

only if some empty line(s) is there at the end of the file,then only it is giving the output(1).


The file is as shown below.

Unable to understand the difference?

That was given to you as the answer to a specific query.
You need to make an effort to understand the code before you ask for yet another solution. Else you'll never learn.
