Hi,
Ive used unix.com to help learn the basics of AWK to format txt files however ive run out of talent and could do with some help. Im not sure if this is possible using awk but I have an input as follows
$1 is line, $2 is cdp, $3 is time, $4 is velocity
I need the script to print something like
The number of Time Velocity values is never constant between lines and cdps so im unsure if using something like below is the right way to go.
This gives an error saying cdp is not defined however I dont understand how. Do I need to create a loop to repeat the process to the end of the file or is an array more appropriate?
The above script also does not account for "line" variations. I have written something to print all line values to separate files so if needs be I can run a script on each file. Also it does not separate the boundary between new cdp's with a /.
Hopefully Ive got the point across ok. This level of problem is well beyond my ability and I have little idea of whether im using the correct approach of trying to reset NR when cdp changes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ryan
Use CODE tags when posting code, data or logs to enhance readability and to preserve formatting like indention etc., ty.

Reason: CODE tags
To keep the forums high quality for all users, please take the time to format your posts correctly.
First of all, use Code Tags when you post any code or data samples so others can easily read your code. You can easily do this by highlighting your code and then clicking on the # in the editing menu. (You can also type code tags [code] and [/code] by hand.)
Second, avoid adding color or different fonts and font size to your posts. Selective use of color to highlight a single word or phrase can be useful at times, but using color, in general, makes the forums harder to read, especially bright colors like red.
Third, be careful when you cut-and-paste, edit any odd characters and make sure all links are working property.
