Using awk to add length of matching characters between field in file
The awk below produces the current output, which will add +1 to $3. However, I am trying to add the length of the matching characters between $5 and $6 to $3. I have tried using sub as a variable to store the length but am not able to do so correctly. I added comments to each line and the description has the rules for each line and the math is zero-based. Thank you .
