hi ahamed

sorry for the inconveniance

i am running the file from my desktop okay in that 2 file names

Quote:
anish.txt contains value 10
kuamr.txt contains value 5
and this 2 file names alone stored in another 2 files example

Quote:
/var/tmp/v1 contain anish.txt
/var/tmp/v2 contain kumar.txt
and i want the input 2 filenames need to read from another file.

and now i using the commad which you give

Code:
awk 'NR==FNR{a=$0;next} {b=$0; print a-b}' $(</var/tmp/v1) $(</var/tmp/v2)

It is working for me. which is your shell? Hope you are running the command from where you have the anish.txt and kumar.txt files.

Or are you writing large things in pure awk?

If the latter, you can incorporate this into part of a larger awk statement more easily:

Code:
awk 'BEGIN {
...
        getline VAR1 <"filename1"
        getline VAR2 <"filename2"
        printf("%d+%d=%d\n", VAR1, VAR2, VAR1+VAR2);
...
}'


The total script is based on domain count in a large zone.

1. first get the domain names alone in a zone file using AWK

2. then removing the duplicates using AWK

3. then count the number of domains using AWK

4. then comparing 2 zone files and doing arithmetic calculations usinga AWK

now iam in final stage...in that slight confusions..thats why i am here i hope i get the answer here

If this is the case, Corona's solution is better since you can embed this with your remaining awk!
