I am getting the reply "command not found" when I run it like this:

Code:

for f in F*; do scripta "$f";done

But the script still works on individual files. It looks like this:

Code:

gawk '{count[$2]++; keyword[$2] = $1}
END {
for (k in count)
{if (count[k] == 2) keyword[k] = "rearranging"
if (count[k] == 3) keyword[k] = "deleting"
if (count[k] > 3)  print k ": Volumes has more than 3 repeats" > /dev/stderr
else print keyword[k] " " k
}
}'

I tried to debug it with bash -x but all I got was "line1 command not found" I am not sure why it would stop at line 1.
I then found that if I ran it as follows:

Code:

for f in F1; do echo "file is $x"; gawk -f script_0108 $f;done

It gave more information:

Code:

gawk: script_0108:1: gawk '{count[$2]++; keyword[$2] = $1}

Code:

gawk: script_0108:1:      ^ Invalid char ''' in expression

it appears not to like the ' in the script. Any ideas? I will try different quoting

I found it appears to have problems with BEGIN/END blocks/quotes. I ran a script with different content on file F1. It works just fine as long as it is not called as a script. Example:

Code:

for x in F1; do gawk -f test1a $x;done
gawk: test1a:1: awk 'BEGIN{s=0}{s=s+$3}END{print s}'
gawk: test1a:1:     ^ Invalid char ''' in expression

Here is the script. It returns a value of 0 a(which is fine) nd not " invalid" when called without being in a do/for loop:

Code:

cat F1|awk 'BEGIN{s=0}{s=s+$3}END{print s}'
0
{563}$

Then I tried to run it without gawk -f and this time, running it without gawk or awk and just

Code:

for x in F1; do  test1a $x;done

it then returns "command not found"
