Reading values from a file
Hi

I have a file in the following format

Code:
AFUE     0.
AOXI     0.
VFUE    100.0
VOXI     274.601
TFUE     298.
TOXI     2229.544
TMAX    2400.

What I want to do is write a bash script, that use either perl/awk or sed to read the number after VFUE and VOXI (which is 100.0 and 274.601 above) and then assign these two values to the following variables to perform the calculation below.


Code:
$VFUE = 100.0
$VOXI  = 274.601

a = ($VFUE + $VOXI)/0.7

thanks

Try:
Code:
awk '/VFUE/{VFUE=$2}/VOXI/{VOXI=$2}END{print (VFUE + VOXI)/0.7}' file
