If you look at the code in your post #11 (which is included above) and compare it to the code you showed us in your post #7, you might note that (except for the lines:

Code:

awk -F "|" '
BEGIN{IGNORECASE=1} 
}' $1

(i.e., the 1st two lines and the last line of your code), EVERYTHING is different. The code above references fields 1 and 2, while the code in post #7 references fields 2 and 3. The differences in YOUR code between posts #7 and #11 are not differences in spacing. They are differences in YOUR code.

When you originally posted your data, empty fields were shown as the literal text <BLANK>, later posts of your data change <BLANK> to a single <space> character, and your latest posts have used empty fields. The following code assumes that they are empty fields, but I have no reason to believe that that assumption is correct. (That assumption just makes more sense in my view of what might be reasonable.)

The title of this thread is "Matrix with Percentage" and you have asked for us to provide code that computes percentages in three of your posts. You have been asked to show us sample output containing percentages as you want them to be displayed three times, but you still have not shown us any example of what you want. You did show us sample code. And, if that code were added to the code you have shown us, it would not produce any output at all. If you refuse to clearly explain what you want and you refuse to show us any example of what you want, how do you expect us to be able to produce code that will produce anything remotely similar to what you want?

Some of your sample output uses mixed case in the 3rd output field (i.e., True Positive, True Negative, False Positive, and False Negative. Your descriptions of the output that should be produce sometimes use all lowercase output, sometimes use mixed case output, and sometimes use all uppercase output. The following code uses all uppercase since that is what is used in your latest sample outputs and in all of the code you have shown us.

The awk that I'm using doesn't have an IGNORECASE variable that your code depends upon (although, if I understand what you're trying to do, case insensitivity would not matter with any of your sample data). The code below only uses features of awk that are required by the POSIX standards.

The descriptions you have supplied for what should appear in the 3rd output field still are not clear. The following code assumes that what you want(except for the header line in the output) is two words of output in the 3rd field where the 1st word is "TRUE" if the 2nd input field is equal to the 1st input field or if the 2nd input field is a non-empty substring of the 1st input field (when performing a case insensitive match); otherwise it is the word "FALSE". And the 2nd word of the 3rd output field is to be "POSITIVE" if the 2nd input field is not an empty string, or "NEGATIVE" if it is an empty string. For the output header line, the following code assumes that you want the output shown in your post #1 (again, because that kind of made sense to me when the output header in most of your other posts did not).

So, even though this code produces output that is not at all similar to the output you said you wanted in post #9 in this thread, maybe the following code with give you something you can work with to get what you want:

Code:

awk '
FNR == 1 {
	FS = OFS = "|"
	print $0, "OUTPUT (o/p)"
	next
}
{	
	f3 = (($1 == $2 || ($2 != "" && index(tolower($1), tolower($2)))) ? \
		"TRUE " : "FALSE ")
	f3 = f3 ($2 == "" ? "NEGATIVE" : "POSITIVE")
	print $0, f3
}' "$1"

which, when given the name of your sample input file you provided in post #11 in this thread as a command-line argument, produces the output:

Code:

INPUT 1 (i/p 1)|INPUT 2 (i/p 2)|OUTPUT (o/p)
Bharat Bazar|Bharat Bazar|TRUE POSITIVE
Binny's Sales| |TRUE POSITIVE
|Binny's|FALSE POSITIVE
||TRUE NEGATIVE
Bharat bazar|Bharat|TRUE POSITIVE
binny's|binny|TRUE POSITIVE
state|country|FALSE POSITIVE

I believe the output here is correct even though it differs from the output you said you wanted for the following reasons:You have also been asked what operating system and shell you're using, but you haven't answered that question either. If you are trying to run this on a Solaris/SunOS system, change awk in the above script to /usr/xpg4/bin/aw or nawk.
