Thank you so much for you help, if it works it will cover already half of what I wanted to achieve (which is a lot!! ).
To recap, for thought-process:
If I read it correctly;
At the second record set the variables min and max to the value of the 5th field. Then at every record past the second one do;
- if the min-variable is greater than the value of the 5th field, set the variable min to the current value of the 5th field.
- if the max-variable is smaller than the value of the 5th field, set the variable max to the current value of the 5th field.
At the END print the min- & max- variables current value in the output.
Is my clarification of this code correct, or am I missing some aspects?
Hi All,

Hey. This is pretty easy stuff but I'm learning the basics of Unix at the moment so keep that in mind. I have to:
1) Write a C-shell script to monitor user activity on the server for 13 minutes.
2) Then print the smallest and largest number of users during these 13 minutes.

Hi !
Here is an example of a tab-delimited file with variable width values in field 2 (space separated values).
As the real file contains lot of lines, I can adjust manually the width to the largest value in field 2.
Does it exist an argument to do it automatically?

`awk` function looks like this in a file name `fun.awk`:

In the below I am trying to use awk to match all the $13 values in input, which is tab-delimited,
that are in $1 of gene which is just a single column of text.
However only the line with the greatest $9 value in input needs to be printed.
So in the example below all the MECP2 and LTBP1... (0 Replies)

lam
LAM(1) BSD General Commands Manual LAM(1)NAME
lam -- laminate files
SYNOPSIS
lam [-f min.max] [-s sepstring] [-t c] file ...
lam [-p min.max] [-s sepstring] [-t c] file ...
DESCRIPTION
The lam utility copies the named files side by side onto the standard output. The n-th input lines from the input files are considered frag-
ments of the single long n-th output line into which they are assembled. The name `-' means the standard input, and may be repeated.
Normally, each option affects only the file after it. If the option letter is capitalized it affects all subsequent files until it appears
again uncapitalized. The options are described below:
-f min.max
Print line fragments according to the format string min.max, where min is the minimum field width and max the maximum field width.
If min begins with a zero, zeros will be added to make up the field width, and if it begins with a `-', the fragment will be left-
adjusted within the field.
-p min.max
Like -f, but pad this file's field when end-of-file is reached and other files are still active.
-s sepstring
Print sepstring before printing line fragments from the next file. This option may appear after the last file.
-t c The input line terminator is c instead of a newline. The newline normally appended to each output line is omitted.
To print files simultaneously for easy viewing use pr(1).
EXAMPLES
The command
lam file1 file2 file3 file4
joins 4 files together along each line. To merge the lines from four different files use
lam file1 -S "
" file2 file3 file4
Every 2 lines of a file may be joined on one line with
lam - - < file
and a form letter with substitutions keyed by `@' can be done with
lam -t @ letter changes
SEE ALSO join(1), paste(1), pr(1), printf(3)STANDARDS
Some of the functionality of lam is standardized as the paste(1) utility by IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'').
BUGS
The lam utility does not recognize multibyte characters.
