@OP: You are not using a next statement and it seems you have the two files reversed and this: /'"$name"'/ uses a shell variable "$name".

Alternatively try:
awk 'NR==FNR{for(i=2; i<=NF; i++)...

Try

Please look again at the script I suggested in my last post in this thread. It got rid of the trailing tabs. The spots marked in red above are the areas that need to change to get rid of trailing...

This proposal makes use of the fact that we're dealing with a symmetrical matrix, needing to retain only the upper triangular matrix. A sorting step would be much easier to implement, and only half...
