Sometimes, it is tricky to figure out where the troublesome buffer is. For starters, try: awk -F'\r' '{print $NF; fflush()}' >outfile

I think I have to come back on this. I went with your last example and I learned that this somehow buffers the output and writes it all in one step to Outfile at the end of the program. Is there a way to enforce writing after each \n found? As in "write each line as soon as you have it" to Outfile?

| Sep 14, 2016 at 7:17 | comment | added | sjngm | Thanks for that thorough explanation! I really admire those who understand all that redirection-subshell-stuff and know their syntax... I tried your last example and it seems to work better than sed due to the large amount of characters in such a "line". | |
