Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How to combine and insert missing consecutive numbers - awk or script? Post 302809429 by alister on Sunday 19th of May 2013 10:59:05 PM

You don't need comm nor multiple sort commands. Just one sort with both files as arguments whose output is piped directly into awk.

Within awk, you would have to track the value of the last field, $NF, to determine when to generate the missing lines.
