I have two columns (fields) in my text file. I am trying to insert '|
FOO This is a description
BAR Another description for bar
TEXT Another description for TEXT
So I ran awk '{ print $1 "|"; $1=""; print}' input > output but print command is adding a new line:
FOO|
This is a description
BAR|
Another description for bar
TEXT|
Another description for TEXT
Is there any way to tell awk not to print a newline and create the file? Here is what I want so that I can create final HTML table based upon '|'
FOO|This is a description
BAR|Another description for bar
TEXT|Another description for TEXT
