Hi Rudi,

I have tried different ways to assign variable value to array element but i did not succeed in this. for ex see the below:

Code:
nawk '{print " " $NF}' line2 > nawk6
a="/export/home/batham51/radio/nawk6"
     
     
      nawk -v '
              var="$a"
              {CNF = (length()-10)/7
              printf "%9s", substr ($0,1,9)
              for (i=0;i<=CNF;i++) T[i+2] = substr ($0, 10+i*7, 7)
              for (i=2; i<=CNF+2; i++){printf "%7s", T[i]; if( i == 18){printf "%7s", var }}
              printf RS
             }
      ' input > ruop

Can you please help me with this ?

Code:
cat nawk6
 2.979

Code:
cat input
032016002  2.891 97.109 16.605 27.172 24.017 32.207  0.233  0.021 39.810  0.077  0.026 19.644 13.882  0.131 11.646  0.102 11.449 76.265 23.735 16.991 83.009  8.840 91.160  0.020 99.980 52.102 47.898 44.004 55.996 39.963 18.625  0.121  1.126 40.189 91.289  2.822  0.317  5.571

Thanks in advance,
