So I'm writing a script which tries to parse human-readable addresses. Part of it is this:
CITYCOUNT is a variable between 0 and 3 counting the number of words in a city name. I'm trying to prnt 1 wherever that's greater than two, so I know which rows just might need manual intervention. The issue is that it doesn't compare CITYCOUNT and 2, it prints into a file named 2!
That awk promote an unquoted value into a string without being asked is pretty unusual, isn't it? What's going on?
Hello Corona688,
Apologies, if I got it wrong here(though I know you need with print trying to suggest it with printf), I believe we could do this by printf like(examples here only): OR
Thanks,
