Thanks Shamrock, I ended up having to edit the source file to add the three headings then run this code that was presented to me earlier to get things to work:

head -2 "file" ; awk -f "script"...

I've tried using an echo statement before the BEGIN command but that just repeats at the bottom over and over totaling the number of lines I have in the file.

Is there anyway to sort per line...

Any ideas on how to sort my script without also sorting the headings? I just need field four to sort and just the numbers. Here is my script again:

BEGIN { printf("%8s%12s%9s\n", "Player",...

So I tried your solution and it does sort the file properly, however my heading does not show, rather line 4 (out of 6 lines) repeats itself at the top. What to do? thinking, thinking, thinking.......

Will try this, thank you.

For example, I have this:

BEGIN { printf("%8s%12s%9s\n", "Player", "Year", "RBIs")
printf("\n") }
{ printf("%8s%12s%10s\n", $1, $2, $4) }

then i type into the shell: awk...

I have a file with four fields and an awk script that strips out one field displaying the remaining three. I have added headings for each of these fields such as Player - Year - RBIs then below it...

Figured it out...thanks.

Right, but I'm not figuring out how I divide by 4 (the number of elements) syntactically. So, like I have this:

......
{ printf("8s%15s\n", $1, $4); totRBIs+=$1; avgRBIs/4=$4 }

END {...

Also, rest assured that I'm not just throwing all of this on all of your good shoulders. I, too, am googling and the like for answers. Just so you all know :)

I'm good so far, thanks everyone for the info about the tabs. Now I'm trying to calculate the average of a particular field. I know tot(and then the field name)+= will total it, but what about an...

Ok, so I think I have the tab thing figured out...only thing is now that I can't seem to align the fields along the left side due to one word being quite longer than the others in the first field,...

The link only brings me back to mine. Any suggestions?

Hello all,

How can I set TAB as the delimiter inside a script file that will manipulate another file? For example, let's say I have a file with four fields separated by tabs and each field has...

I'm getting the following message:

find: invalid argument `n*24' to `-atime'

Something I've done wrong here?

How can I search for files by last accessed time? I want to see files accessed in the last 24 hours, for example...or even less time, maybe in the last 3 hours?

Thank you in advance,

Trellot

And your suggestion worked great, thanks for your input.

Thank you, Bobbygsk, I will try this.

Much appreciated,
