you seem to be missing the ending `

for i in `cat file1 file2 | awk '{print $2}'`
> do
> echo $i
> done

domain0.com
domain1.com

assuming you mean want the second field from both files.

Why complicate things with awk and a for loop?

cat file1 file2 | cut -d" " -f2

The cat is not necessary.

awk '{print $2}' file1 file2

True,

cut -d" " -f2 file1 file2 ...

cut is at least twice as fast as awk. You can dig a ditch with a shovel, but a backhoe is a real tool.

I like the cut command (Harry's post) best
But just cause you can do it a million ways,
here's another way.

cat file1 | sed -e "s/^.* //"

I would suggest, never use a 'cat |' with a filter program.. if you avoid it..

awk '{ print $2 }' file1

Marwin is right you seem missed ` end
and i also prefer to use as Tom's suggestion
awk '{ print $2 }' file1

You have not told about file2 and what you are expecting from both files?

To get second field from a file you can use awk or cut as,

awk '{ print $2 }' file1
cut -d" " -f2 file1

hth.
