You can find the difference between $* and $@ only when you use them within quotes
$* will combine all arguments to a single string
$@ will have each arguments as a seperate string
See the below example
Code:
/export/home/test/mons>cat samp.sh
for i in "$*"
do
print $i
done
for i in "$@"
do
print $i
done
/export/home/test/mons>samp.sh hai welcome to "Unix Forum"

I am trying to create one function.
It will have two arguments.

In the awk I am trying to subtract the difference $3-$2 of each matching $4 before the first _ (underscore) and print that value in $13.
