Full Discussion: Awk: Assigning a variable to be the value of FNR at a certain line

Ah yes see that's the problem, the 'overlap' NFR will always be several (100+) lines before the oldte==te2 (energy equilibrium) NFR, because of how the simulation works.

So if the some_var still gets evaluated as =NFR when I print it at the end
f.e. print(some_var) then i'll have the wrong value. On the other hand if it only gets evaluated as being = an integer (a previous NFR in this case) than I'm golden.

An array wouldn't help me since I can't know which line I need, that's the whole point of getting the NFR value at that point.

plmesh

PLMESH(3plplot) 						    PLplot API							   PLMESH(3plplot)

NAME

       plmesh - Plot surface mesh

SYNOPSIS

       plmesh(x, y, z, nx, ny, opt)

DESCRIPTION

       Plots  a  surface mesh within the environment set up by plw3d(3plplot).	The surface is defined by the two-dimensional array z[nx][ny], the
       point z[i][j] being the value of the function at (x[i], y[j]).  Note that the points in arrays x and y do not need to  be  equally  spaced,
       but  must be stored in ascending order.	The parameter opt controls the way in which the surface is displayed.  For further details see the
       PLplot documentation.

       Redacted form: plmesh(x, y, z, opt)

       This function is used in example 11.

ARGUMENTS

       x (PLFLT *, input)
	      Pointer to set of x coordinate values at which the function is evaluated.

       y (PLFLT *, input)
	      Pointer to set of y coordinate values at which the function is evaluated.

       z (PLFLT **, input)
	      Pointer to a vectored two-dimensional array with set of function values.

       nx (PLINT, input)
	      Number of x values at which function is evaluated.

       ny (PLINT, input)
	      Number of y values at which function is evaluated.

       opt (PLINT, input)
	      Determines the way in which the surface is represented: opt=DRAW_LINEX: Lines are drawn showing z as a function of x for each  value
	      of y[j].	opt=DRAW_LINEY: Lines are drawn showing z as a function of y for each value of x[i].  opt=DRAW_LINEXY: Network of lines is
	      drawn connecting points at which function is defined.
