Hi (and sorry for this slightly OT question),
I would like to extract the second last field of each line of a
file called user.csv .
So I try
> awk '{print $(NF-1)}' user.csv
awk: trying to access out of range field -1
input record number 1, file user.csv
source line number 1
Obviously $(NF-1) doesn't do the trick. Any better idea?
Thanks,
Uli.
