syntax question in regards to nested awk statements
Hello all,
I am writing up an input file and I was hoping I could get some guidance as to how to best consolidate these 2 awk statements for 1 while loop.
Here's my input file
Here is statement 1 which goes through the tabbed input file
But I also wanted the flexibility to check to see if an entry in the input file was commented out which I can use the following statement for
The problem is I can't figure out how to consolidate these 2 statements into one while loop. My initial idea was to loop through the code with my first statement and within that statement I would check to see if that row has a comment in the front in my if clause. I will keep trying different methods, but I would love to hear some the input from the community. I'm still learning to use awk so if there are better ways of implementing this I would love to hear your thoughts!
