Small changes below. I've assumed that regardless of the number of columns, the data to normalise is always in the next to last (NF-1) column. This handles the odd case of the "all" file without the need for a specific test.
I'm a bit confused with your new computation for "average." Your words say sum of all values divided by number of input files, but your example shows sum divide by 4. The code below computes the output based on your description and not the example and thus the output for the first record in the first sample file you gave is
Code:
a1 10 100 nameX 0 2 + 5.500
because 44 is divided by 2 input files, not 4. If that is wrong, where are you getting 4 from? It might be that in your testing you have two other input files that have all zeros in the n-1 column, and thus your example, and the code, is correct.
Small revisions....
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env ksh
awk '
{ # first pass to compute sums and total number of lines from all files
# we assume that data to snarf is always next to last column regardless
# of the number of columns in the input file.
if( !seen[FILENAME]++ ) # must now count input files here
nin++; # number of input files
sum[FILENAME] += $(NF-1); # sum across current file
tsum += $(NF-1); # sum across all files
tnv++; # total number of values
}
END {
statsf = "stats.out"; # stats output file name
#tmean = tsum/tnv; # mean of values across all files (unused)
tmean = tsum/nin; # not the mean anymore though we keep the original name
nin = 0; # number of input files
for( fn in seen ) # make second pass across the input files
{
printf( "%s sum = %.0f\n", fn, sum[fn] ) >statsf; # collect stats
ofn = sprintf( "%s.out", fn );
while( (getline < fn) > 0 )
{
nv = ($(NF-1)/sum[fn]) * tmean;
gsub( "\t+", " " );
gsub( " +", " " );
gsub( " ", "\t" );
printf( "%s\t%.3f\n", $0, nv ) >ofn; # write to output files
}
close( fn );
close( ofn );
}
printf( "mean across %d input files %.0f/%.0f = %.03f\n", nin, tsum, tnv, tsum/tnv ) >statsf;
}
' "$@"
exit
yes it should be 2 not 4. my mistake. the reason why ended up writing 4 is that my real data sets are 4.

And one personal question regarding awk. How come you write so well in awk ? How did you get in to awk and how did you practiced it ? I started with free online awk book. up to few chapters it was easy to follow and the very difficult to grasp the contents. Your suggestion could be really helpful to me. An thank you for the modifications!.

Thanks.
I started using awk at some point in 1990 or 91. I bought the O'Reilly Sed & Awk book and went from there. Awk takes a while to wrap your head around, so don't give up. A great way to improve your skills is to look at the posted solutions on this forum. Try to solve the problem yourself, and use the posted solution(s) as a way to "check your answer." Also, having the answer can help if you just don't see how to solve the problem. Do remember that there may be lots of different approaches so your solution might not look like what was posted, but may still work.

Oops. Yep missed that one, and another small mistake earlier
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env ksh
awk '
{ # first pass to compute sums and total number of lines from all files
# we assume that data to snarf is always next to last column regardless
# of the number of columns in the input file.
if( !seen[FILENAME]++ )
nin++; # number of input files
sum[FILENAME] += $(NF-1); # sum across current file
tsum += $(NF-1); # sum across all files
tnv++; # total number of values
}
END {
statsf = "stats.out"; # stats output file name
#tmean = tsum/tnv; # mean of values across all files (unused)
tmean = tsum/nin; # not the mean anymore, we keep the original name
for( fn in seen ) # make second pass across the input files
{
printf( "%s sum = %.0f\n", fn, sum[fn] ) >statsf; # collect stats
ofn = sprintf( "%s.out", fn );
while( (getline < fn) > 0 )
{
nv = ($(NF-1)/sum[fn]) * tmean;
gsub( "\t+", " " );
gsub( " +", " " );
gsub( " ", "\t" );
printf( "%s\t%.3f\n", $0, nv ) >ofn; # write to output files
}
close( fn );
close( ofn );
}
printf( "mean across %d input files %.0f/%.0f = %.03f\n", nin, tsum, nin, tmean ) >statsf;
}
' "$@"
exit
Better now I hope!

Actually I got a list of file end with *.txt
I want to use the same command apply to all the *.txt
Thus I try to find out the fastest way to write those same command in a script and then want to let them run automatics.
