awk '{ if ($0 ~ /"$AAA"/) sum += $3} END {print sum}' $i I am still getting no output.
As what you mean by
awk standard interface as before? I tried using it but I need the output to print
$3 column numerical values and not count how many ALA words there are. Any idea where I could read about this?
As for testing
$2 instead of
$0 I am getting zeros when I apply the
awk command from before. I am reading and trying to implement it to change for checking if line has ALA and then take that lines 3rd column's numerical value and add it to other lines with ALA words and 3rd column's numerical values so I could have a sum of all ALA 3rd column numerical values. What should I read into or try to implement?

It seems like this command iterates each time on a different row so $1 is the first field of each row.. But what caused it to refer to each row ?.

IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)
NAME
igawk - gawk with include files
SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...
DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).
AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like
@include getopt.awk
in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.
OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk
BEGIN {
while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
...
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
