awk or a combination of commands to read and calculate nth lines from pattern
Two numerical lines, found by either header line, need to be added
and the total placed in a new-header section. Also the total should
should be rounded or cut to a two decimal anynumber.XX format
with the AB string added on the end.
For example: The numerical lines from headers 2 and 3 are to be added together
and placed in the 4th line of the new-header grouping.
The new line would show 13.24 AB
The data file:
Each grouping contains 4 lines.
The line numbers may change every time the data file is accessed.
The numerical lines may or may not have a type (AB in this example) listed after the number.
The third line in the group, the info line, may or may not be the same.
Data file:
A new section would then be added to the end of the data with no empty line above:
