problem in making Awk executable script
Guys I placed
#!path/awk -f
placed awk script
and used $1 to call 1st inputfile inside the script.
But some where I did mistake. Could you please help me run this script as executable
I forgot to mention I also used BEGIN before placing awk script. But nothing worked out.

Script

Code:
#!/usr/bin/awk 
      'NF {
  sec = $2; fifth = split($5, _fifth, ","); sixth = split($6, _sixth, ",")
  counter = rec = ""; key = $1; flag = $4; sub(/[^ \t*]*/, "")
  dummy = sprintf("%*s", length(key),x)
  for (i=1; i<=sixth; i++) {
    second_third = sec + _sixth[i] FS _fifth[i] + sec + _sixth[i]
    third_second = sec + _sixth[i] FS _fifth[i] + sec + _sixth[i]
    if (flag == "+") 
      rec = rec ? rec RS dummy OFS second_third : key OFS second_third OFS $0
    else if (flag == "-")  
      rec = rec ? rec RS dummy OFS third_second : key OFS third_second OFS $0    }
  print (flag == "+" ? rec : rec)    
 }' OFS='\t' ORS='\n' $1

Code:
X1	84	140	-	4,10,4	0,36,52

Hi.

You're mixing up awk script together with shell script.

Try:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/awk -f
BEGIN {
   OFS="\t"; ORS="\n"
}
NF {
  sec = $2; fifth = split($5, _fifth, ","); sixth = split($6, _sixth, ",")
  counter = rec = ""; key = $1; flag = $4; sub(/[^ \t*]*/, "")
  dummy = sprintf("%*s", length(key),x)
  for (i=1; i<=sixth; i++) {
    second_third = sec + _sixth[i] FS _fifth[i] + sec + _sixth[i]
    third_second = sec + _sixth[i] FS _fifth[i] + sec + _sixth[i]
    if (flag == "+")
      rec = rec ? rec RS dummy OFS second_third : key OFS second_third OFS $0
    else if (flag == "-")
      rec = rec ? rec RS dummy OFS third_second : key OFS third_second OFS $0    }
  print (flag == "+" ? rec : rec)
}


Output:
Code:
X1      84 88           84      140     -       4,10,4  0,36,52
        120 130
        136 140
X1      20 25           20      110     +       5,10,5  0,35,90
        55 65
        110 115
