getting wrong output with AWK command!!!
i have a file which gets appended with 9 records daily and the file keeps growing from then...i use to store the previous day files count in a variable called oldfilecount and current files count as newfilecount.my requirement is that i need to start processing only the new records from the file....i mean only if newffilecount > oldfilecount and only fetch the current days 9 records and process it...the no of records which is 9 as of now might vary later..so i just need to fetch the records which has come for today neglecting all the previous days records and process the current records alone...
i tried
awk 'NR>$oldfilecount {print $0}' $eachfile | sed 's/"//g' > outfile
but i m getting all the records displayed...even the old records :-(
but when i give
awk 'NR>64 {print $0}' $eachfile | sed 's/"//g' > outfile i get only the current days records...
How do i get my job done...since the oldfilecount variable keeps changing and based on that i need to filter out the old records and fetch only the new records and process it...
Thanks in advance!

RAGATOR(1) General Commands Manual RAGATOR(1)
NAME
ragator - aggregate argus(8) data file entries.
COPYRIGHT
Copyright (c) 2000-2003 QoSient. All rights reserved.
SYNOPSIS
ragator [-f ragator.conf] [raoptions]
DESCRIPTION
Ragator reads argus(8) data from an argus-file, and merges matching argus flow activity records together. In its default mode of options,
this effectively converts argus(8) files from detail to non-detail mode, and merges periodic flow report records to a single argus record,
thus compressing the argus(8) file to a reduced size.
You can modify the aggregation strategy used by ragator to merge records together, by using the -f ragator.conf option. See ragator(5) for
a complete description of the format and syntax of the flow model file.
OPTIONS
Ragator, like all ra based clients, supports a number of ra options including filtering of input argus records through a terminating filter
expression. See ra(1) for a complete description of ra options.
