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.

It seems when I run the awk '/Done/ {print $5; exit}' Ar_b3lyp_pv5z.out in the command line I do get my one value that I want to repeat 101 times. But when I run the entire script everything is printed except for columns 3 and 4.

Any thoughts. Thanks.

Also I don't know if you care or not but this is technically not my work but yours so I should cite your name as a reference. That's up to you.

Chemist Needs Help part II

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...

NAME

       script - Makes a transcript of terminal session

SYNOPSIS

       script [-a] [file]

       The script command makes a transcript of everything printed on your terminal.

OPTIONS

       Appends the transcript to file rather than writing it to file.

OPERANDS

       The name of an output file that will contain the transcript of the session.  If this parameter is omitted, the file typescript is written.

DESCRIPTION

       The transcript is written to file, or appended to file if the -a option is given.  If no file name is given, the transcript is saved in the
       file typescript.

       The script ends when the forked shell exits.

       This program is useful when you are using a CRT and want a hard-copy record of the dialog (for example, a technical writer might create	an
       example of a working session this way).

       If you specify the -a option and the file does not exist, it is created.

       If you do not specify the -a option and the file exists, it is replaced.

RESTRICTIONS

       The  script command requires a streams based terminal.  In single user mode, streams may not be enabled.  Under these circumstances, script
       will exit with no action.  If you are the superuser and need to run this command in single user mode, use the  following  special  instruc-
       tions.

   Enabling Streams
       If it is necessary to enable a streams environment in the single user mode, enter the command /sbin/init.d/streams.  This command is avail-
       able to the superuser only.
