I'm trying to get awk to do arithmetic functions with external variables and I'm getting an error that I cannot figure out how to fix.
Insight would be appreciated

Hi all.
I have a simple shell script shown below which calls an awk function and then print valid or invalid depending on the return value:
#!/bin/sh
cat file.CSV| nawk -f validate '
BEGIN { FS=","; counter=0}
{
FS=",";
gsub("\"","")
valid=validate($1);

Hi ,

dear all,
In my script, it would be ideal if I could use an arc-cos (inverse cos) function. I think trig functions are indeed provided by awk, but not inverse trig functions.
So my question simply is: are there any alternative ways to incorporate inverse trig functions into a script?
Any... (2 Replies)
I learn using RS in awk to extract portion of file in this forum which is wonderful solution to the problem. However, I don't understand how exactly it operates.
I don't quite understand the mechanism behind how searching for /DATA2/ can result in extracting the whole section under "DATA2"

Hi;
Is der ne to to use user defined functions for the values in awk
find $1 -type f -ls | nawk '{{print "|"$3"|"$5"|"$6"|"$8"|"$9"|"$10"|"} for(i=11;i<=NF;i++){printf("%s",$i)}}'
In above command i want to append some values returned by user functions on line.
thnks;

Hi folks,
is there any recommendation, especially from a point of performance, about where to place a user-defined function in awk, like in BEGIN{} or if it is only need once at the end in END{}? Or doesn't it matter at all since, awk is so clever and only interprets it once, wherever it is... (3 Replies)
I wrote a very simple script to understand how to call user-defined functions from within awk after reading this post.
function my_func_local {
echo "In func $1"
}
export -f my_func_local
echo $1 | awk -F"/" '{for (k=1;k<=NF;k++) {
if ($k == "a" ) {
system("my_local_func $k")
}
else{... (19 Replies)

bup-margin
bup-margin(1) General Commands Manual bup-margin(1)NAME
bup-margin - figure out your deduplication safety margin
SYNOPSIS
bup margin [options...]
DESCRIPTION
bup margin iterates through all objects in your bup repository, calculating the largest number of prefix bits shared between any two
entries. This number, n, identifies the longest subset of SHA-1 you could use and still encounter a collision between your object ids.
For example, one system that was tested had a collection of 11 million objects (70 GB), and bup margin returned 45. That means a 46-bit
hash would be sufficient to avoid all collisions among that set of objects; each object in that repository could be uniquely identified by
its first 46 bits.
The number of bits needed seems to increase by about 1 or 2 for every doubling of the number of objects. Since SHA-1 hashes have 160 bits,
that leaves 115 bits of margin. Of course, because SHA-1 hashes are essentially random, it's theoretically possible to use many more bits
with far fewer objects.
If you're paranoid about the possibility of SHA-1 collisions, you can monitor your repository by running bup margin occasionally to see if
you're getting dangerously close to 160 bits.
OPTIONS --predict
Guess the offset into each index file where a particular object will appear, and report the maximum deviation of the correct answer
from the guess. This is potentially useful for tuning an interpolation search algorithm.
--ignore-midx
don't use .midx files, use only .idx files. This is only really useful when used with --predict.
EXAMPLE
$ bup margin
Reading indexes: 100.00% (1612581/1612581), done.
40
40 matching prefix bits
1.94 bits per doubling
120 bits (61.86 doublings) remaining
4.19338e+18 times larger is possible
Everyone on earth could have 625878182 data sets
like yours, all in one repository, and we would
expect 1 object collision.
$ bup margin --predict
PackIdxList: using 1 index.
Reading indexes: 100.00% (1612581/1612581), done.
