If you don't understand the scripts you're given here; ask questions. I haven't seen any of the volunteers here who were unwilling to explain how their code worked if anyone bothered to ask.
Your description of your input files is a little bit sparse. Making the assumptions:
Some timestamps might not appear in all input files.
The first file processed containing a given timestamp might not contain four fields.
The output should have a minimum of 6 fields.
If the output for a given timestamp doesn't include 5 fields (after adding the date to the start of the line), an empty field should be added and the final field should be 100.
With these assumptions, you could try the following code:
If we add an additional input file (named File04) to those you had before:
then running the above script today produces the output:
Does this do what you want?
Is there anything in this awk script you don't understand?
