hi pamu,
when i tried removing BEGIN it gave an error, below is the code

Code:
 cat filename.tar.gz | awk -v mon="07" '
    {
 if (( (substr($0,26,2)=="02") && substr($0,84,2) == month  ))
  print $0 >> "a.txt"
  ++matchcounter
 else
 ++notmatch};
    END { print matchcounter","notmatch >> "countfile"}'
awk: cmd. line:5:  else
awk: cmd. line:5:  ^ syntax error

Can you please suggest
I don't know what you're trying to do, but there are a few obvious problems. Since I don't know what you're trying to do, I haven't made any attempt to test the following suggestion.

In earlier posts in this thread you were using zcat to unzip a compressed tar file. The code in orange in your script is now using cat instead of zcat???

The code in red in your script sets a variable named "mon" (and never uses it) and uses a variable named "month" (that has never been set).

And as shown by the diagnostic messages you're getting from awk, your if statement, is not using the correct syntax.

The following seems to fix the obvious issues above:
Code:
zcat filename.tar.gz | awk -v mon="07" '
{       if(substr($0,26,2)=="02" && substr($0,84,2) == mon) {
                print $0 >> "a.txt"
                ++matchcounter
        } else 
                ++notmatch
}
END {   print matchcounter","notmatch >> "countfile"}'

The changes marked in red are crucial; the other changes are editorial.

I don't see how this script can do anything useful with a tar file, but I haven't made any changes to account for that. Your if statement might make sense (although I didn't look at the definition of a tar header block to confirm it) if it was only looking at tar headers, but this script is looking at every line in the tar file (headers and archived file contents).

set_color

set_color(1)							       fish							      set_color(1)

NAME

       set_color - set_color - set the terminal color

set_color - set the terminal color
   Synopsis
       set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]

   Description
       Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
       cyan, white and normal.

       o -b, --background Set the background color

       o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names

       o -h, --help Display help message and exit

       o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode

       o -u, --underline Set underlined mode

       o -v, --version Display version and exit

       Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.

       Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
       font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.

       Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.

       set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
       incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
       ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.
