String Conversion in awk
I am porting a awk script from Windows to unix
I_SALE_MEDIA=$67
if ((I_VOID_FLAG == "Y") && (I_SALE_MEDIA == 0))
NOW consider the case where I_SALE_MEDIA i.e $67 is "000"
The above comparison works fine in Windows , but to make it work in
Unix , I had to change the above as follows :
I_SALE_MEDIA=$67
if ((I_VOID_FLAG == "Y") && (I_SALE_MEDIA == "000" ))
Such change had to be made thruout the script for similar situation.
From what I read awk should convert the I_SALE_MEDIA to numeric 0
and then compare successfully with the zero constant numeric literal .
Any suggestions why this is happening.
Regards
Rohan

So for example, if i have the unsigned long value 1372516, I'm supposed to somehow get "1,372,516".
Can someone please give me the right direction to go about doing this? Thanks. (3 Replies)

Can someone explain whats happening here:

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
