[SOLVED] running awk

[alink]

I keep getting a syntax error when I try to run this script, I have tried moving things around but I keep getting the same result, what am I doing wrong?

#!/bin/awk -f
awk '{print "Name", $1, $2
print "Phone Number", $3
print " "}' phone.list

You only need to use the "print" statement once, at the beginning.

#!/bin/awk -f
awk '{print "Name", $1, $2, "Phone Number", $3," "}' phone.list

I think alink wants to run awk in a script and have 3 lines of output for every line in the phone.list file. The script should look like as:

#!/bin/bash
awk '{print "Name", $1, $2 
print "Phone Number", $3
print " "}' phone.list

To do it with a single print command it would look like:

#!/bin/bash
awk '{print "Name", $1, $2, "\nPhone Number", $3, "\n"}' phone.list

Thanks I will try it right now

To answer the original question, it's your shebang line that's broken - use /bin/bash as vsemaska suggests. Or do the lot in a shell:
[code]
#!/bin/bash
while read name1 name2 phone
do
printf "%s %s\nPhone Number %s\n\n" $name1 $name2 $phone
done <phone.list
