change file attribute

[kubabuk]

Hi,

I was wondering, if it is possible to set permission attributes while creating a file? Can I somehow put chmod a+x inside awk loop?

thanks a lot

Have a look at the system function.
You may also consider the umask command before launching your awk program (in unix).

Hope This Helps, PH.
