Record counter

For the following code

Code:
 
SEQ=200
awk -v S="$SEQ" '
         
        $0 ~ S { 
         N++
  print N
  }
  
        
   
' "$1"ascii >"$1"search

N is printed 8002 times as it occurred 8002 times in file

how I could print the counter one time only

Thanks

You could use the awk END block to print the counter in the end:
Code:
awk -v S="$SEQ" '     
        $0 ~ S { 
                    N++
        }
        END {
                 print N
        }
'

BEGIN and END are special patterns usually used for supplying startup and cleanup actions for awk programs.

BEGIN rule is executed once only, before the first input record is read.

END rule is executed once only, after all the input is read.

I would recommend reading GNU AWK User's Guide or read the awk man page:
Code:
man awk

for the following code

Code:
 
for i in 200 202 203
do
SEQ=$[i]
awk -v S="$SEQ" '
         m=$0{
   getline
                if ( $0 == S )
           {
                    N++
     }
        }
        END {
                print "the context is " m " the character is  " S " count "N 
        }
 
 
 
' "$1"ascii >>"$1"search
done


the out put is

Code:
 
the context is 13 the character is  200 count 4070
the context is 13 the character is  202 count 5634
the context is 13 the character is  203 count 695

and I don't know what is 13!

I need to print the counter of previous character record and previous character record in case the current record is matching one of the S values

any help?
