This solution as 1 awk program appears to work OK with your test data.
Note: I used index() and substr() instead of gsub() to avoid possible RE character issues that MadeInGermany identified.
Your script works in part. In the test file there are two sets of duplicate strings with three instances each,
For the copy of the base file, these are replaced with the intended indexed unique names,
In the sdf file, the indexed replacement is only partial.
however,
do not appear anywhere in the file and duplicate values for ID_2-[2-hydroxyethyl(methyl)amino]ethanol still appear in the two remaining duplicate records at lines 1993,2017 and 3491,3515.
I don't see where this is failing, but I also don't understand what you did very well. It is about 100 times faster than my script which will make a difference with the bigger files.
The following seems quite basic but does not seem to work. Anybody know why?
$ g=1
$ echo $g
1
$ echo abc$g
abc1
$ abc$g=hello
ksh: abc1=hello: not found
$ echo $abc1
ksh: abc1: parameter not set
It works when I specify the full variable name
$ abc1=hello
$ echo $abc1
hello
