As another posted, NF is what you want to play with. Here is an example:
ls -l | awk '{ num = NF - 2 ; print $num }'
Please note that awk can use both types of shell variable notations:
With or without the dollar sign on an assignment.
So assign a value based upon NF WITHOUT the dollar sign, and print the
value WITH a dollar sign.
Hope this helps.
Have Fun!
