Thank pamu, but the output file is like this:
Code:
CoCo	$39.40	paid balance: $ 0.00
CoCo	$34.00	due balance: $ 0.00
Euda	45	due balance: $ 0.00
CoCo	$16.05	due balance: $ 0.00
Hiel	$50	paid balance: $ 0.00
Euda	$12.45	due balance: $ 0.00

it would be great if paid can - balance and give out the after calculated result, is there a way to do so?

With the same tested input files above, I hope to get something like this:
Code:
CoCo balance: $-10.65
Euda balance: $-12.45
Hield balance: $50.00
SJHF balance: $0.00

I think what rdc did was correct, but I would need exception for when there is no $, or not 2 digits after decimal points.

       igawk - gawk with include files

SYNOPSIS

       igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
       igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...

DESCRIPTION

       Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).

       AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like

	      @include getopt.awk

       in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.

OPTIONS

       See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.

EXAMPLES

       cat << EOF > test.awk
       @include getopt.awk

       BEGIN {
	    while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
		 ...
       }
       EOF

       igawk -f test.awk
