Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting sed in while loop producing arithmetic output Post 302283791 by javathecat on Wednesday 4th of February 2009 04:12:36 AM

I got the awk code to work too. It's impressively faster than calling sed.

This code didn't quite work on my machine:
Code:
awk ' BEGIN { fln = 1; dln = 8 }
NR == fln || NR == dln { print }
      { fln += 11; dln += 11 }
' test1.out > mpck2.out

However this did and it definitely pointed me in the right direction:
Code:
awk ' BEGIN { fln = 1; dln = 8 }
      NR == fln {print; fln += 11}
      NR == dln {print; dln += 11}
' test1.out > mpckawk2.out

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 SEE ALSO
