Thanks anbu23! I just have one question:
I tried with only one FILE_${m} containing 1.0 in each line on column 3.
So the average should be 7*1.0/7 = 1.0, but instead I get 0.142857 which is equal to 1/7.
So I replaced your solution with:
AVERAGE=$(awk ' NR==11 && NR<= 17{sum +=$3; if(NR == 17){exit}} END {print sum}' $FILE)
This time it works, but I don't understand why... any idea?
I have the following requirement.
file1.txt (this could contain 5 million rows)

I need to create

I have a EAI process to change file2.txt into

Hi,
I am searching for an awk-script that computes the mean values for the $2 column, but addicted to the values in the $1 column. It also should delete the unnecessary lines after computing...
An example (for some reason I cant use the code tag button):

colrm
COLRM(1) BSD General Commands Manual COLRM(1)NAME
colrm -- remove columns from a file
SYNOPSIS
colrm [start [stop]]
DESCRIPTION
The colrm utility removes selected columns from the lines of a file. A column is defined as a single character in a line. Input is read
from the standard input. Output is written to the standard output.
If only the start column is specified, columns numbered less than the start column will be written. If both start and stop columns are spec-
ified, columns numbered less than the start column or greater than the stop column will be written. Column numbering starts with one, not
zero.
Tab characters increment the column count to the next multiple of eight. Backspace characters decrement the column count by one.
ENVIRONMENT
The LANG, LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE environment variables affect the execution of colrm as described in environ(7).
EXIT STATUS
The colrm utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO awk(1), column(1), cut(1), paste(1)HISTORY
The colrm command appeared in 3.0BSD.
