Hi Subbeh,
I have one more question need your advice :
Code:
48524 48543 21 2
48520 48547 25 2
From the above situation, column 4 between both line are smallest.
But column 3 in line 1 smaller than column 3 in line 2.
Do you know how to change your awk code to allow it print out the line that has smallest number in column 3 and column 4?
Thanks for advice.

Hi Klashxx,
Do you have any idea how to do the second comparison and print out the line that has smallest number in column 3 and 4?
I notice in some case, the smallest number are in same column (either column 3 or 4). In that case, I would like to compare the other column and print out the line that record smallest number in both column 3 and 4.
Hey. This is pretty easy stuff but I'm learning the basics of Unix at the moment so keep that in mind. I have to:
1) Write a C-shell script to monitor user activity on the server for 13 minutes.
2) Then print the smallest and largest number of users during these 13 minutes.

Hello,
I have often found bash to be difficult when it comes to floating point numbers. I have data with rows of tab delimited floating point numbers.

column
COLUMN(1) BSD General Commands Manual COLUMN(1)NAME
column -- columnate lists
SYNOPSIS
column [-tx] [-c columns] [-s sep] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The column utility formats its input into multiple columns. Rows are filled before columns. Input is taken from file operands, or, by
default, from the standard input. Empty lines are ignored.
The options are as follows:
-c Output is formatted for a display columns wide.
-s Specify a set of characters to be used to delimit columns for the -t option.
-t Determine the number of columns the input contains and create a table. Columns are delimited with whitespace, by default, or with
the characters supplied using the -s option. Useful for pretty-printing displays.
-x Fill columns before filling rows.
Column exits 0 on success, >0 if an error occurred.
ENVIRONMENT
COLUMNS The environment variable COLUMNS is used to determine the size of the screen if no other information is available.
EXAMPLES
(printf "PERM LINKS OWNER GROUP SIZE MONTH DAY HH:MM/YEAR NAME
"
; ls -l | sed 1d) | column -t

The column command appeared in 4.3BSD-Reno.
AVAILABILITY
