I am trying to write an awk script that gets values from a sequential file. &nbsp;I am using an if statement to check which lines to get. &nbsp;The if statement will start off being false, become true for a short period and then become false for the rest of the file. &nbsp;In order to save time when running the script, I would like the AWK statement to end once the if statement is no longer true. &nbsp;Can this be done? &nbsp;How do you end an AWK script early? &nbsp;Please provide an example.<br />

AWK ending script early

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
