Problem running awk script in Debian 6.0.2
Hello to all,

May be some expert could help me.

I have the below awk script that works correctly in Cygwin:
Code:
awk -F\" 'FNR==NR && FNR>1 {gsub(",","",$5); N[$2]=$5;next}
$10 in N && FNR>1 {
Y[$10]=$8
Z[$10]=(N[$10]==$8)?"Yes:"No";
}
END{
for(k in N) {print k,Y[k],N[k],Z[k]?Z[k]:"Not_Found"}
}' file2 file1

But when I try to run it in Debian version shown below, the script doesn't print the correct output or Segmentation fault appears:
Code:
~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.2 (squeeze)
Release:        6.0.2
Codename:       squeeze

When I sen man awk I get the description of mawk command.

What could be the problem here and what should I do to fix it?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

You have error here:
Code:
Z[$10]=(N[$10]==$8)?"Yes:"No";

should be:
Code:
Z[$10]=(N[$10]==$8)?"Yes":"No";

Hello bartus11,

Thanks for your answer.

I've fixed that part, but is no that, still fails. Doesn't print the correct output and even If I change to mawk Smilie.

If I use the same script in cygwin works just perfect.

I don't know if Debian needed a different syntax or something.

Do you have "gawk" available there?

Hello bartus,

If I enter man awk or man nawk I get the description of mawk. But if I enter man gawk I receive "No manual entry for gawk".

Don't run "man gawk", just "gawk" to see if that version is installed.

bartus, I get this
Code:
$ gawk
-bash: gawk: command not found

If I go to:
Code:
/usr/bin

I see this:
Code:
