how to print new word after two lines using awk
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.
text-processing awk

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.
