Ok, I've simplified and summarised my problem below (see first post for full description):
#Inputfile
1,Thisfieldis27characterslong,field3,field4
2,Thisfieldiss28characterslong,field3,field4
3,Thisfieldisss29characterslong,field3,field4
#Script
awk -F, 'BEGIN {if( length($2) > 28 ) print "HEADINGRECORD"} \
length($2) > 28 \
{print $1","$2, ++n} \
END {print "RECORD COUNT IS: " n}' inputfile > outputfile
#Expected outputfile:
HEADINGRECORD
3,Thisfieldisss29characterslong
RECORD COUNT IS: 1
Current outputfile:
3,Thisfieldisss29characterslong
RECORD COUNT IS: 1
If script rerun with the length increased to 29 (ie length($2) > 29), then there should be NO output (so, whatever solution there is for the BEGIN output, I'll need to apply to the END too)

Newbie question, not sure of the use of BEGIN when you can just have the enclosed code inserted before the remaining program which means that code will get executed first anyway? (2 Replies)
