file

I need help in moving the contents printed by awk to a text file. THis is a continuation of previous quesion I have to move all the contents into the same file so it is appending.

To be specific

nawk -v file="$FILE" 'BEGIN{RS=";"}
  /select/{ gsub(/.*select/,"select");gsub(/\n+/,"");print file,$0;}
  /update/{ gsub(/.*update/,"update");gsub(/\n+/,"");print file,$0;}
  /insert/{ gsub(/.*insert/,"insert");gsub(/\n+/,"");print file,$0;}
  ' "$FILE"

How to get the print results to a text file appended one after the other in the same file?
