nawk & awk

###----------------------TEST FOR $ Value------------------------
sort $RTF 2>>$LOG | nawk -F\| '\
{
for( i=1; i<=NF; ) {
if( i == NF )
{
amt=substr($i,1,1) #$ value
if (amt == /^ *[0-9] /)
printf( "$%s\n", $i );
else
printf( "%s\n", $i );
}
else
printf( "%s|", $i );
i++;
}
}' >$RFF 2>>$LOG
###---------------------------------------------------------------

I need an actual $ symbol in front of the value that is stored in NF (last value after the pipe. I tried both awk & nawk & it would not give me the result.

it's somewhat difficult what you're trying to do - seems that you already have '$' in the last field.

Could you post a sample input and a desired output, pls!
pls use vB Codes when posting samples.

nawk -F'|' -v OFS='|' -f sd.awk myFile.txt

sd.awk:

Code:

$NF ~ "^[0-9.][0-9.]*$" { $NF = "$" $NF }
