Given that the only line that you have shown us from your input file(s) is not matched by either of the egreps in either of your pipelines, it is hard to guess how to create test data that might be used by see if we are correctly interpreting your requirements.
Your 1st pipeline seems to be attempting to count a number of unique field #4 values. But your expected output shows sum_#_lines... What is being summed?
Your 2nd pipeline seems straightforward, but one wonders why the patterns being matched by the 2nd egrep is those two pipelines is different???
And, of course, the search patterns used in the awk script shown in post #3 do not seem to have any relationship to what you showed us in post #1???
Please show us a small set of sample input lines and then show us the exact output that should be produced from that sample along with a clear explanation of the logic used to produce that output from your sample input.

Print value of these columns for the number of lines of the table specified by the -n argument after the skippiing the number of
lines specified by the -s argument. A value of 0 causes the entire input line to be printed.
-a Sum all numeric columns selected, printing the sum on the line following the result. Columns with no sum are filled with ___.

-n num Print selected columns for this many lines. If not specified, all lines will be read after the number of lines specified by -s have
been skipped.
-o OR conditions insted of ANDing them
-p Print only sum, mmean, sigma, median, or range, not entries
-r @listfile
-r line range Print columns from the lines specified as either the first nonzero number on each line of the file listfile or the
comma- and hyphen- delimitied range; i.e. 1-5,10-12 will print values from lines 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, and 12. (added in version

-s num Skip this many line before starting to print values. If not specified, no lines will be skipped.
-t Starbase (tab-separated) table output
-v Print more information about process.
