Good points Don Cragun, my assumption was that the value in the data line was less than then number of lines and any additional lines need to be discarded.
In my solution, any processing could be done in the NR <=R block:
Understood.
The O.P. said the output "can be directed to a gnuplot ot (sic) output to a file.", but didn't specify any options for gnuplot and didn't specify filenames nor whether the headers should be included in the files or stripped from the files. There is no gnuplot man page in the Man Pages section of this forum, but some references I found said that it is very picky about having its input in tab separated fields (and the data lines given in the sample input have no tabs). Should all data be sent to one instantiation of gnuplot or should the data under each header be sent to a different instantiation of gnuplot?
I don't think I can do much more until we get a clarification on the requirements.
I have a large list of filenames from an Excel sheet, which I then translate into a simple text file. I'd like to use this list, which contains various file extensions , to archive these files and then remove them recursively through multiple directories and subdirectories. So far, it looks like...

colcrt
COLCRT(1) BSD General Commands Manual COLCRT(1)NAME
colcrt -- filter nroff output for CRT previewing
SYNOPSIS
colcrt [-] [-2] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
colcrt provides virtual half-line and reverse line feed sequences for terminals without such capability, and on which overstriking is
destructive. Half-line characters and underlining (changed to dashing `-') are placed on new lines in between the normal output lines.
Available options:
- Suppress all underlining. This option is especially useful for previewing allboxed tables from tbl(1).
-2 Causes all half-lines to be printed, effectively double spacing the output. Normally, a minimal space output format is used which
will suppress empty lines. The program never suppresses two consecutive empty lines, however. The -2 option is useful for sending
output to the line printer when the output contains superscripts and subscripts which would otherwise be invisible.
EXAMPLES
A typical use of colcrt would be
tbl exum2.n | nroff -ms | colcrt - | more
SEE ALSO col(1), more(1), nroff(1), troff(1), ul(1)HISTORY
The colcrt command appeared in 3.0BSD.
BUGS
Should fold underlines onto blanks even with the '-' option so that a true underline character would show.
Can't back up more than 102 lines.
General overstriking is lost; as a special case '|' overstruck with '-' or underline becomes '+'.
Lines are trimmed to 132 characters.
Some provision should be made for processing superscripts and subscripts in documents which are already double-spaced.
