I know file2.txt doesn't exist; the script I gave you creates it.

The contents of file2.txt that I showed you is what is produced by the script I gave you.

You said you wanted file2.txt to contain:
Code:
Data 1
Value One 54.24425 +30.00001 
Value Two 35.24535 -10.00000

Data 2
Value One 24.25225 -20.00000
Value Two 35.24535 +10.00000

But, 54.24425 - 24.24426 is +29.99999; not the +30.00001 you said you wanted. And the 3rd value you had in Variable is 24.24225; not the 24.25225 you said you wanted in the output.

Note also that your 1st message in this thread says that your input file is file1.text; not file1.txt. The script I gave you used the filename you specified.

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.
