I made an executable file in terminal and it looks like this.
Code:
echo Enter the name of the file without the .wig extension
read NAME
echo Enter the ratio
read RATIO
awk '{$2*=$RATIO;{print $0}}' ${NAME}.wig > ${NAME}normalized.wig
I have a file with several million lines that look like this
What I am trying to do is ask for a file name, then ask for a ratio to normalize my data by, just a number like 0.5, by multiplying the second column of each line (not including headers) by 0.5 and replace that column with the new value and output that line into the normalized file. At the same time I do not want to do calculations on the headers (variableStep chrom=Uextra span=25), but I still want the headers in the output file. There are several headers which appear on lines much further into the files.
When I run the program it isn't giving me the values I expect, but it is making the new file. When I run the program removing the
echo Enter the ratio
read RATIO
and replacing $RATIO with the actual value I want, like 0.5, I get the values I expect.... but it is doing math on the headers and is removing the tabs and replacing them with spaces. So there are a few problems with my program.
Thanks!

!*!*!UPDATE!*!*!
I was able to fix the problem with the headers being calculated, using this
Code:
echo Enter the name of the file without the .wig extension
read NAME
awk '{if($1 == "variableStep") {print $0} else {$2*=.5952;{print $0}}}' ${NAME}.wig > ${NAME}normalized.wig
but I still can't seem to specify the RATIO variable to get it to multiply the second column by RATIO. I have to edit the program each time with the number I want (.5952)
Before I even attempt this, is it possible to grep for a pattern, maybe a partial sentence like "go to page 3", assign that to a variable and then use awk or something to pull out the 3 and assign it to a variable? So first I would have
Gotopg = "go to page 3"
then
page = 3 (9 Replies)
