By default, awk output is written to your workstation screen. You can save the output of an awk program in a file by using output redirection. To do this, put:

>filename

on the end of any awk command line. For example:

awk –f progfile datafile >outfile

writes all the output from the awk program to a file named outfile. In this case, the output does not appear on the workstation screen.
