Averaging segments
Hi,

I have a file that I want to average. So specifically I want to average every third column for each row.

Here is an example of my file

Code:
2 2 2 3 3 3 1 1 1 5 5 5

Heres what I want it to look like after averaging every third column

Code:
2 3 1 5

thanks

Code:
awk '{one=($1 +$2 +$3)/3 
        two=($4 + $5  +$6)/3 
        three=($7 +$8 +$9)/3
        print one, two, three } ' inputfile

Hi
Hey yeah that works and I had somethign similar but the file is rows are very long (like almost 1000 characters). So I was wondering if there was a faster way of doing it (rather than typing $1, $2 etc.)

thanks

if number of fields are not fixed, try:

Code:
awk 'NF%3 == 0{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++) { avg=($i+$(i+1)+$(i+2))/3; print avg;i=i+2 }}' file

yeah for some reason that does not work.

if u have number of fields not multiple of 3, it wont process any further.
if you still want to, remove the NF%3 ==0 part in the command.
