There aren't 3 numbers in. There are, in fact, millions and millions. The 3 lines that I posted are just a sample from a 9,000,000 line file. What I'm trying to do is use all of a system's CPU to complete a task faster. So, let me explain a little differently.
I have a huge file. Normally, awk would just read from line 1 to the last line, using a single CPU core. This script gives me what I want:
If I run that script on my data file, it works just fine, albeit slowly, as it uses only a single core. So, I decided to instead make 7 copies of the script and use them all at the same time. Those are called proc.1.mawk, proc.2.mawk ... proc.7.mawk. Another mawk script is feeding lines into those scripts. Lines where NR%7 is 0 go to the first proc script, those where NR%7 is 1 go to the second proc script, and so on so that those where NR%7 is 6 go to the last proc script. That mawk script is simply this:
I call that the "distributor". You can see that it (1) calculates NR%7 for each line, (2) figures out which processor script should be handling that line, and (3) pipes the line to that processor script. So, each proc script is doing 1/7th of the total lines. That all works properly and, in fact, shows a huge improvement in processing time.
The problem is simply that each of those proc scripts write their output to stdout. So, I have to do something like this:
That works just fine, but I'd rather have summing occur in the same distributor that passes the lines to the processor scripts. I tried something like this:
That fails with a syntax error.
So, is there a way to get the distributor to receive back the output of the proc.NUM.mawk scripts and sum them together?
I try to get the month (of last save) and the filename into a variable, is this possible ?
something like this :
for month in `ls -la | awk '{print $6}'`
do
if ]
then
a=filename of the matching file
cp $a /Sep
fi

How would I pass awk output to a perl variable?
For example, I want to save the value in the 4th column into the variable called test. My best guess is something as follow, but I am sure this isn't correct.
$test = system("awk '/NUMBER/{print \$4}' $_"); (8 Replies)

I want to incorporate the variable in the for statement as a column of my processed file. In the INCORRECT example below, it is $i which corresponds to the i in my for loop:

nodesave
NODESAVE(8) Linux System Managers Manual NODESAVE(8)NAME
nodesave - Saves NET/ROM routing information
SYNOPSIS
nodesave [-p path] [-v] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
Nodesave saves the contents of the /proc filesystem entries for the NET/ROM routing tables. The output of the program is in the form of a
Bourne shell script that calls nrparms(8) to recreate the NET/ROM routing information. If no filename is given on the command line, the
program writes the script to stdout.
Typically nodesave would be used when taking a system off-air so that the NET/ROM routing may be quickly restored when the system is
brought back on-line.
OPTIONS -p path Set the path to the nrparms binary. This only affects the output of the program. Default is /usr/sbin.
-v Display the version.
FILES
/proc/net/nr_neigh
/proc/net/nr_nodes
SEE ALSO netrom(4), netromd(8), nrparms(8).
