Hello

The results in previous post can be checked as following
Code:
#> cat >tst.txt
0
0
0
 #> awk '{if($1>mx)mx=$1;}END{print mx}' <tst.txt

Now change values in tst.txt and run following

Code:
 #> awk '{if($1>mx)mx=$1;}END{print mx}' <tst.txt


Now that the error is found, the problem is not solved .. how to get max of multiple 0 values?

Regards
Chetanz
Try:
Code:
printf "%d\n" 0 0 0|awk 'mx==""||$1>mx{mx=$1}END{print mx}'
