Replace a column with a value conditional on a value in col1
Hi,
Perhaps a rather simple problem...?
I have data that looks like this.
Code:
BPC0013 ANNUL_49610 0 0 1 1
BPC0014 ANNUL_49642 0 0 2 1
BPC0015 ANNUL_49580 0 0 1 1
BPC0016 ANNUL_49596 0 0 2 1
BPC0017 VULGO_49612 0 0 1 1
BPC0018 ANNUL_49628 0 0 1 1
BPC0019 ANNUL_49692 0 0 2 1
170291_HMG ANNUL_170291 0 0 1 1
170351_HMG ANNUL_170351 0 0 1 1
170475_HMG 170475 0 0 2 1
170497_HMG ANNUL_170497 0 0 2 1
170534_HMG ANNUL_170534 0 0 1 1
170559_HMG ANNUL_170559 0 0 1 1

I want to change the col6 value to 2 only if the line does not start with BPC.
Code:
awk -F "\t" '{if($1==BPC) {print $1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6} else{print $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6="2"}} ' testfam.fam > atestedfam.fam

I tried this, but it is changing everything to 2 at col6.

I want to change the col6 value to 2 only if the line does not start with BPC.
And the lines that do start with BPC have $6 equal to 2 already.

So isn't this an expected outcome ?

Anyway -
