One more Q on above if I may
I have customised , formated a bit above command (may be not perfect but Ok for me) and I wonder if I can print only if $3-$4 >0
cat tmp.lst|grep -v '#'|grep -v '-'|awk '{a[$1]=a[$1] FS $2" "$3" "$4} END {for (i in a) {print i, a[i]}}'\
|awk '{print $1" "$2" "$3" "$4" "$5}' >>tmp1.lst
I know I could have read docs but human nature ... looking for easy ways ..
Thanks again

No worries I figured it out...
It turned out to be very easy
cat tmp.lst|grep -v '#'|grep -v '-'|awk '{a[$1]=a[$1] FS $2" "$3" "$4} END {for (i in a) {print i, a[i]}}'|awk '{if ($3>$4) print $1" "$2" "$3" "$4" "$5}'
Cheers

A file contains one name per line, such as:
john doe
jack bruce
nancy smith
sam riley
When I 'cat' the file, the white space is treated as a new line. For example
list=`(cat /path/to/file.txt)`
for items in $list
do
echo $items
done
I get:

unbuffer
UNBUFFER(1) General Commands Manual UNBUFFER(1)
NAME
unbuffer - unbuffer output
SYNOPSIS
unbuffer program [ args ]
INTRODUCTION
unbuffer disables the output buffering that occurs when program output is redirected from non-interactive programs. For example, suppose
you are watching the output from a fifo by running it through od and then more.
od -c /tmp/fifo | more
You will not see anything until a full page of output has been produced.
You can disable this automatic buffering as follows:
unbuffer od -c /tmp/fifo | more
Normally, unbuffer does not read from stdin. This simplifies use of unbuffer in some situations. To use unbuffer in a pipeline, use the
-p flag. Example:
process1 | unbuffer -p process2 | process3
CAVEATS
unbuffer -p may appear to work incorrectly if a process feeding input to unbuffer exits. Consider:
process1 | unbuffer -p process2 | process3
If process1 exits, process2 may not yet have finished. It is impossible for unbuffer to know long to wait for process2 and process2 may
not ever finish, for example, if it is a filter. For expediency, unbuffer simply exits when it encounters an EOF from either its input or
process2.
In order to have a version of unbuffer that worked in all situations, an oracle would be necessary. If you want an application-specific
solution, workarounds or hand-coded Expect may be more suitable. For example, the following example shows how to allow grep to finish pro-
cessing when the cat before it finishes first. Using cat to feed grep would never require unbuffer in real life. It is merely a place-
holder for some imaginary process that may or may not finish. Similarly, the final cat at the end of the pipeline is also a placeholder
for another process.
$ cat /tmp/abcdef.log | grep abc | cat
abcdef
xxxabc defxxx
$ cat /tmp/abcdef.log | unbuffer grep abc | cat
$ (cat /tmp/abcdef.log ; sleep 1) | unbuffer grep abc | cat
abcdef
xxxabc defxxx
$
BUGS
The man page is longer than the program.
