Hi Scrutinizer !

Quote:

Hint: you are defining the function n times and it is in the wrong section.

So I tried:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/gawk -f

BEGIN{FS=OFS="|"}
      
   n = split($2,a,", ")
       for (i=1; i<=n; i++){
           
           if (a[i] < 3999) { 
               function dec2roman(a[i],v,w,x,y,r1,r10,r100,r1000){
               	
               a[i] = int(a[i])
               
               split("I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX",r1," ")
               split("X XX XXX XL L LX LXX LXXX XC",r10," ")
               split("C CC CCC CD D DC DCC DCCC CM",r100," ")
               split("M MM MMM",r1000," ")

               v = (a[i] - (a[i] % 1000)) / 1000
               a[i] = a[i] % 1000
               w = (a[i] - (a[i] % 100)) / 100
               a[i] = a[i] % 100
               x = (a[i] - (a[i] % 10)) / 10
               y = a[i] % 10

               return(r1000[v] r100[w] r10[x] r1[y])
        }
   }
}1

But I got more syntax errors in the for loop and the function. And "unexpected newline or end of string" for everything else !

Solution:
I removed the function and use only its code !
