I have this input:
It has an inconsistent number of fields but the last field is determined by 100/(NF-2) using awk.
I want to take this multiple columned input file and transform so that ANY field between $3 and the second to last field $(NF-1) is in one column with the second column being the last column from the input file.
So, the output would look like above:
I found this awk script that uses arrays to put multiple columns into 1 but it also adds NR, too.
I messed around with this for awhile but couldn't get it to work.
please help.
thanks!
