awk

[laurent]

Hi,

I need somebody help :

As usual I make routine with awk programming language and I have encoutered
a problem with reading big data.

So How can I do to concatenate and store each record into only one variable.

For example this file : it's just a sample because the entire file contains
575000 lines!!
