Thanks pilnet101 . Basically it increases the line length by 2 every line and memorizes the line. Then at maximum length, the loop starts to decrement, rather than increment and only prints the lines memorized in the increment phase.
With regards to the setting of the quotient q and the line n where the maximum line length occurs, and using the name m for maximum line length rather than l which is easily confused with the number 1), perhaps this is a bit clearer:

The histogram scale is logaritmic, to avoid very short bars for smaller files or very long bars for bigger files.

I know that when using 'while (<FILE>) {}', Perl reads only one line of the file at one time, and store it in '$_'.
Can I change some parameters so that 'while (<>) {}' can read more than one lines, like 2 or 5 lines at one time?
Thanks for the help! (1 Reply)

igawk
IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)NAME
igawk - gawk with include files
SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...
DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).
AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like
@include getopt.awk
in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.
OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk
BEGIN {
while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
...
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
