i.e on the 4th and 5th position i want...

(value_before_comma*100)+value_after_comma

and ignore the last two fields from the orignal file.

as i did this in
Quote:
tr ',' ';' <filename | awk -F\; '{print $1","$2","$3","$4","$5","$6","$7","$8","$9}'|awk -F, '{$4*=100;$6*=100;$4=$4+$5;$6=$6+$7;print $1","$2","$3","$4","$6}'
though this resulting file is comma seperated instead of ";" but that is not a big deal.

Try this:
Code:
 
awk -F';' 'BEGIN {OFS=";"} {$4=($4*100)+$5} END{print $1,$2,$3,$4,$6}'

Hi..
These solutions are working fine.
Thanks to all.

one query.. if there is a negative field there.. lets say -2,25 in that case my logic will fail.
-200+25=-175 where as I still want -225.

thanks in advance.
