Hi All,

Thank you all for your valuable input. Yes I managed to print the number correctly using the printf function. However, I got another issue with the command provided by RudiC.

I am applying the same command on another file in which record separator is not pipe. I change the command as below:

Code:
awk -F" " '/^040/ {REC++; SUM+=$14; FN=FILENAME} END {printf ("%s;%d;%0.2f\n", FN,REC,SUM/100)} ' $FILENAMEA

Using above I do not get the correct result. This is because field 14 is not being grepped correctly.

I tried following command also:

Code:
awk '{$1=$1}1' OFS="|" $FILENAMEA | awk -F" " '/^040/ {REC++; SUM+=$14; FN=FILENAME} END {printf ("%s;%d;%0.2f\n", FN,REC,SUM/100)} '

However, this did not work as filename is not being printed and the sum is also coming wrong.

Please advise.

Thanks
Angshuman
