Yes. Those come from this:

Code:

awk '/Done/ {print $2; exit}' Ar_b3lyp_pv5z.out | read col3

This just reads the first 'Done' line from the file. YOu need run this

Code:

awk '/Done/ {print $2; exit}' Ar_b3lyp_pv5z.out

and see what you get. I suspect you get nothing. In that case, play with this line awk statment until it produces what you want. Duplicate your efforts on the other line that creates col4. Dont forget to add the | read col3 and read | col4 statements back onto the line.

If you know what the values are supposed to be anyway, hardcode them in, skip the awk for now example:

Code:

col3=99999
#awk '/Done/ {print $2; exit}' Ar_b3lyp_pv5z.out | read col3

The leading # character comments out the line. Repeat this for the col4 line.

Hello friends, I was wondering if you can help me with probably a simple function to you all: the sample looks and has this format. I was wondering how I could extract the first and second column starting including the line 'E/N and Ko' and not stop until there are no more lines. Thank you for...

IGAWK(1)							 Utility Commands							  IGAWK(1)

NAME

       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
