Hi,
I'm not an expert with awk (and gawk ) but i should want to be.

I use this command:
awk -F; '{ print $1 }' CDI.txt

where the CDI.txt file is a test file where each field is separated by a ;
And it do not work!!!!!

If I change the separator field from ; to : it works well


I use a windows machine (unfortunately!!!) on wich i have istalled Cygwin
and use gawk from there.


THANKS A LOT.
