The first "$1" is internal to awk and refers to the first field in the line. The second instance of "$1" is unrelated and is the shell positional parameter containing your file's name.
num=name of output file with numeric first fields
alpha=name of output file with all other lines
2pugs, your message really helped me.
The only thing is that you need to switch between the pipelines.
It should be:
But now I have a different problem.
When I try to do:
the number is printed okay, but the string returns 0 instead of the word.
(2pugs, it's the same problem as before, but now I can't avoid it by entering the parameter from the standard input, because now this word is from a file. For everyone else who doesn't know what I'm talking about: https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...er-string.html)
well,
I use word and number in the main script.
in the main script I have an if->while loop, and then I send ${word[$i]} and ${number[$i]} to the subscript.
like that:
inside the subscript I receive them as
set word = ${1}
set number = ${2}
In the subscript I tried to echo them and they echoed fine.
But inside the subscript there's an IF part.
If I print
echo "word: ${word}"
it works fine.
But if I print
echo "${number} ${word}"
it prints the right number and 0 instead of the word.

OK, I solved it, but it's so STRANGE!!!
what I did was like this:
in the subscript in the IF part, right above the line that prints I reentered the string into word:
and it works.
But the thing is that I didn't touch the word parameter at all before the echo part.
Can someone explain why this happens?
