I have previously posted similar codes which can be slightly modified to get your desired output.

So show us what you have tried so far, share your thoughts and efforts for approaching this problem.

for the following code

Code:
 
 
SEQ=203
gawk -v S="$SEQ" '
        {
                A[++c] = $1
        }
        END {
                for ( i = 1; i <= c; i++ )
                {
                        if ( A[i] == S )
                        {
                                C[A[i],A[i+1],A[i-1]]++
                                V[A[i],A[i+1],A[i-1]] = "if ( A[i] == 236 && A[i+1] ==" A[i+1] " && A[i-1] ==" A[i-1] ") print A[i] = " A[i]
                        }
                }
                for ( k in V )
                {
                        T[++j] = C[k]
                }
                n = asort(T)
                for ( i = n; i >= 1; i-- )
                {
                        for ( k in V )
                        {
                                if ( C[k] == T[i] )
                                {
                                        print C[k] " times"
                                        print V[k]
                                }
                        }
                }
        }
' "$1"ascii >203condition

this code is working fine for one SEQ value
how could I make it works for more than one value for SEQ?

for example SEQ=203 or 203 0r 204

Thanks

Solved

this is the solution

Code:
 
for i in 200 202 203
do
SEQ=$[i]
gawk -v S="$SEQ" '
        {
                A[++c] = $1
        }
        END {
                for ( i = 1; i <= c; i++ )
                {
                        if ( A[i] == S )
                        {
                                C[A[i],A[i+1],A[i-1]]++
                                V[A[i],A[i+1],A[i-1]] = "if ( A[i] == 236 && A[i+1] ==" A[i+1] " && A[i-1] ==" A[i-1] ") print A[i] = " A[i]
                        }
                }
                for ( k in V )
                {
                        T[++j] = C[k]
                }
                n = asort(T)
                for ( i = n; i >= 1; i-- )
                {
                        for ( k in V )
                        {
                                if ( C[k] == T[i] )
                                {
                                        print C[k] " times"
                                        print V[k]
                                }
                        }
                }
        }
' "$1"ascii >>199condition

Thanks Yoda

for the following code

Code:
 
for m in 200 202 203
 do
SEQ=$[m]
 
awk -v S="$SEQ" '
        {
                A[++c] = $1
        }
        END {
                for ( i = 1; i <= c; i++ )
                {
                        if ( A[i] == S  )
 
                              A[i] = 263
 
 
                        if ( A[i] )
                                print A[i]
                }
        }
' "$1"ascii>"$1"pre

the result should change any
Code:
200 or 202 or 203

to
Code:
363

but why it doesn't ?

Any help?
