how to print new word after two lines using awk












-2















I need to insert a blank line after two lines in a file that I did with



cat rat     hat
pot NOT lot
big big big
sit sit sit
awk '{print};(NR%2==0){print ""}'
cat rat hat
pot NOT lot

big big big
sit sit sit


Actually my main target is to insert a new word after every two lines and I can't solve.



How can I do as I have <= 6000 names in another file in column three and even in this column few have just .(dot) in it.



Second I don't want the blank line after last line.

          This seems perfect, to insert fixed WORD every two lines



          awk '{print}
          (NR%2==0){printf "WORDn"}'


          not to insert on last line, i would suggest



          awk 'NR>2 && (NR%2==1) {printf "WORDn"}
          { print ; }'


          number of column in line doesn't matter.



          However, just guessing, it is not a fixed word ? a word from the line ? the last one ?



          awk 'NR>2 && (NR%2==1) {printf "%sn",last}
          { print ; last=$NF ; }'


          this will print, the last word every other line.



          Replace $NF by $3 to get the third.



          Creating a program is not only code, but being able to describe to others (and oneself) what is to be achieved.

            Using awk we can print new word when linenumber is even



            awk '{{print $0}if(NR%2==0)print "word"}'
