Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Calculate average of top n% of values - UNIX Post 302902680 by Chubler_XL on Wednesday 21st of May 2014 04:44:41 PM

Apologies there was a slight bug in there (I wasn't dividing by the number of values used).

I've tried to make it a little easier to understand and output the number of unique values found and what is summed, you can take out the red line if you don't want this extra info:

Code:
for file in *.txt
do
   gawk -v p=50 '
    {a[sprintf("%07d",$3)]}
    END{
      asorti(a,as)
      end=length(a)
      start=end-int(end*p/100)+1
      if(start>end) start=end
      printf("File has %d unique values, average from %d to %d\n", end, start, end)
      for(i=start;i<=end;i++) total=total + as[i]
      printf "%s\t%.2f\n", FILENAME, total/(end-start+1)}' "$file"
done
