Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi I have a file that I want to bin.

I am using this code:

Code:

awk -F'\t' -v r=40 '{for(i=r;i<=NF;i+=r){for(j=0;j<r;j++){sum+=$(i-j)}printf "%s ", sum/r;sum=0}; printf "\n"}'  file1 > file2

So basically what this code does is that it will averaging every 40 columns (creating bins of 40). But what I want to do is skip the first column and start binning at column 2.

For example:

Code:

morrow  2  4  5  6  7  6 .... #40
taylor     2  5  6  2  4  90....#40

I want it to skip the first column (name) and begin the regular binning at column 2.



thanks

What do you mean by "binning"? What should be the output?

I think you just have to add 1 to the column number?

Code:

awk -F'\t' -v r=40 '{for(i=r+1;i<=NF;i+=r){for(j=0;j<r;j++){sum+=$(i-j)}printf "%s ", sum/r;sum=0}; printf "\n"}'  file1 > file2
