Hi.

Assuming sample data is on file z5; code is on file z6: changing Jim's code to this:
Code:
awk ' $3 > $4 {printf( "%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n", $1, $2, $4, $3); next}
          {print $0}' z5

produces this output from your sample input:
Code:
$ ./z6
08      1       18010   19185
16      4       7960    9339
01      6       516769  517428
09      9       49270   51384

As Jim says, we're not a coding service, so we will expect you to:

1) be far more explicit, does not work / its not working tells us essentially nothing, clearly it did work, it simply was not what you were looking for,

2) put in more of your effort in the future.

Best wishes ... cheers, drl
