Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Problem with getting awk to multiply a field by a value set based on condition of another field Post 303043629 by Scrutinizer on Sunday 2nd of February 2020 02:23:36 PM

Hi some quick thought on the last code snippet:
In awk the middle section is processed per line, so you should leave out:
for(i=1;i<=NR;i++)
The results should be stored in arrays so they can be used in the END section.
The END section contains code after all lines have been read in the middle section,
so the following has no business there:
Code:
      a[$1]=$2;
      b[$4]=$4*$w

NAME
ample.html - html template for Ample DESCRIPTION
This file, by default /etc/ample/ample.html, is read by Ample at startup and used as a base for it's HTML pages. These pages are rendered whenever a webbrowser connects and requests a list of available songs and directories (typically done by connecting to http://server:port/index.html). The file is divided into three sections, the header, the middle and the footer. The header and the footer are the same on each page gener- ated while the "middle" is copied into the final HTML document once for each file or directory that is going to be listed. Although this may sound confusing, it will probably become much more evident once you look at the example below. Variables are written in uppercase and enclosed within "at" signs (example: @NAME@) and are replaced dynamically when the page is con- structed. Some variables can exist anywhere in the document and some can only exist in the "middle" section, see the information about each variable for details. EXAMPLE
<!-- Beginning of header --> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html><head> <title>@SERVERNAME@</title> </head><body> <center> <p><h1>@SERVERNAME@</h1></p> <p><h2>Tracks currently available in @PATH@</h2></p> <p><font size="-1">[ <a href="index.m3u">playlist for this dir</a> | <a href="rindex.m3u">recursive playlist</a> ] </font></p> <p><font size="-1"> [ <a href="../index.html">Up one level</a> ] </font></p> <div align="center"> <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bordercolor="#000000"> <tr><td> <b>TYPE</b> </td><td> <b>URL</b> </td></tr> <!-- End of header --> @BEGIN@ <!-- Beginning of "middle" --> <tr><td> @TYPE@ </td><td> <a href="@URL@">@NAME@</a> </td></tr> <!-- End of "middle" --> @END@ <!-- Beginning of footer --> </table> </div> <p align="right"><font size="-1"> powered by Ample, for more information, see the <a href="http://ample.sourceforge.net">project homepage</a> </font></p> </center> </body> </html> <!-- End of footer --> SUMMARY OF VARIABLES

These can only be used once. BEGIN This variable (when placed in the beginning of a new line) marks the end of the header section and the start of the "middle" sec- tion. END This variable (when placed in the beginning of a new line) marks the end of the "middle" section and the start of the footer sec- tion. GLOBAL VARIABLES
These can be used anywhere. SERVERNAME The name of the server as given in ample.conf(5). PORT The port that the server is listening to. PATH The current path the user is viewing. NON-GLOBAL VARIABLES These can only be used in the "middle" section. NAME The name of the song or directory. URL The URL of the song or directory. LENGTH The song length (in seconds) or blank if it is a directory. TITLE The title of the song or "DIR" if it is a directory. SIZE The file size or blank if it is a directory.
