Data in count.txt file
Hi fpmurphy ,
Thanks for your response,

count.txt file contains following data,

Code:
INTELLECT~JP~111~0~A~2jp10212991~RR~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
INTELLECT~JP~111~0~A~2jp10212991~RR~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
INTELLECT~JP~111~0~A~2jp10212991~RR~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
INTELLECT~JP~111~0~A~2jp10212991~RR~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
INTELLECT~JP~111~0~A~2jp10212991~RR~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
INTELLECT~JP~111~0~A~2jp10212991~RR~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
INTELLECT~JP~111~0~A~2jp10212991~RR~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Above record each line contains 21 ~ chars in line number 4th number o ~'s are 22 so my script should give line number 4 has an 22 ~'s also my script should take a static value from property file like validate.property
contains records like
Code:
INT_EUR=21
INT_TOK=21
INT_CA=54

so on
so that INT_EUR has value =21 so script will check is row 1 have ~=21 or not and so on every line should get scanned and does not match gives n error .
Could you please solve this problem.

Now your questions regarding why multiple awk commands. i am not be able to take any variable inside the awk command.Please guide me what to do.

Thanks & Regards,
Ganesh

Why the need to invoke awk twice? Print the number of records at the top of the output?

Why do you need so many print statements? Why not just output the lines which are regarded as "errors"? Each print statement adds to the execution time.
