Finding minimum maximum and average

I am trying to find the minimum maximum and average from one file which has values

Code:

I am using the following command
Code:
awk 'NR==1{min=$6;max=$6;sum+=$6;next}{if ($6<min) min=$6;if ($12>max) max=$6;sum+=$6}END{print "min: "min", max: "max",NR: "NR", avg: "sum/NR}' filename

but due to square braces I am not able to run this command please suggest how to get the output

Code:
awk ' BEGIN { max=sum=0; } NR==1 { min=$(NF-1); } {
 val=$(NF-1);
 gsub("\[","",val);
 gsub("\]","",val);
 sum+=val;
 if(val<min) { min=val; }
 if(val>max) { max=val; }
 } END {
 printf "Min: %d Max: %d Avg: %d\n", min, max, (sum/NR);
} ' filename

Don't have time to think through it all, but...

The following strips out the [ and ] characters. There are most assuredly other ways also.

Code:

Code:
awk 'BEGIN {minval=999999;maxval=-1} {val=$6;gsub(/[^0-9]/,"",val);if (val < minval) minval=val; if (val > maxval) maxval=val; sum=sum+val;} END {print "min " minval;print "max " maxval;print "avg " sum/NR;}'

Feel free to adjust.
