awk is designed to process big flatfiles, it should do well here. Thousands of files of thousands of lines comes to millions of lines, which is not unfeasible.
There's always ways to make things faster, of course. Will you be doing lots of things like
If so, you could do awk '{...}' file1 file2 file3 file4 ... > output
...which would save a lot of time since file1 wouldn't need to be read thousands of times, just once.
If you need different files for each one that's still possible, but would need changes to the code.
Hello Corona,
First of all thanks a lot,
Let me make the description of files spesific :
So would it work well? or should i divide file 2.txt to lets say 100 files and in a for-do loop check things?
how can i use awk or sed to do a conditional statement, so that
HH:MM
if MM not great than 30 , then MM=00
else MM=30
ie:
10:34 will display 10:30
10:29 will display 10:00
a=$(echo 10:34 | awk ......)
Thanks in advance (10 Replies)

Dear all,
I want to use awk to read the three columns in a file called "test" and change them to ( 1.5 1.5 1.5) if any element is found to be greater than three. A part of the file is shown below:

I have a column of numbers $2, I would like to add 360 to all numbers that are negative. This method seems a bit convoluted, and does not work (outputs 0):

BIN++;
}

merge
MERGE(1) General Commands Manual MERGE(1)NAME
merge - three-way file merge
SYNOPSIS
merge [ options ] file1 file2 file3
DESCRIPTION
merge incorporates all changes that lead from file2 to file3 into file1. The result ordinarily goes into file1. merge is useful for com-
bining separate changes to an original. Suppose file2 is the original, and both file1 and file3 are modifications of file2. Then merge
combines both changes.
A conflict occurs if both file1 and file3 have changes in a common segment of lines. If a conflict is found, merge normally outputs a
warning and brackets the conflict with <<<<<<< and >>>>>>> lines. A typical conflict will look like this:
<<<<<<< file A
lines in file A
=======
lines in file B
>>>>>>> file B
If there are conflicts, the user should edit the result and delete one of the alternatives.
OPTIONS -A Output conflicts using the -A style of diff3(1), if supported by diff3. This merges all changes leading from file2 to file3 into
file1, and generates the most verbose output.
-E, -e These options specify conflict styles that generate less information than -A. See diff3(1) for details. The default is -E. With
-e, merge does not warn about conflicts.
-L label
This option may be given up to three times, and specifies labels to be used in place of the corresponding file names in conflict
reports. That is, merge -L x -L y -L z a b c generates output that looks like it came from files x, y and z instead of from files
a, b and c.
-p Send results to standard output instead of overwriting file1.
-q Quiet; do not warn about conflicts. -V Print 's version number.
DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is 0 for no conflicts, 1 for some conflicts, 2 for trouble.

It normally does not make sense to merge binary files as if they were text, but merge tries to do it anyway.
