Folks,
Two things I am missing....

  1. interface in the first line
  2. space in the beginning of the first two lines.

Regards,

Note the change "no -> " no

Next time try using either quote ot code tags around expected output. Thanks.

Folks,
I am getting a space now, tried applying space
awk '{ printf("!\ninterface %s\n%s\n%s\n", $0, " shut", " switchport mode access")}' file1.txt
but i am not getting interface at the beginning for the first line.

Aejaz,
pls use the vB Codes when posting either code samples and/or quoting input/output.
Not doing so makes it very difficult for anyone here to help you.
Thanks.
