You may want to set the OFMT (output format; default "6.2f") variable to a more suitable value.
If you try MadeInGermany's proposal, use printf, not print.
EDIT: wrong default from the top of my head. Correct: "%.6g"
Thank you all for your valuable input. Yes I managed to print the number correctly using the printf function. However, I got another issue with the command provided by RudiC.
I am applying the same command on another file in which record separator is not pipe. I change the command as below:
These files are tab delimited. If you notice, you will see that some of the fields have text separated by space. Hence If I use space as delimiter, the output will not be consistent. When I use cut command to get field 14, I get consistent result across all files.
MOBILE 012 is one field. If you check the second file that I have uploaded, you can see that this particular field can have text containing multiple spaces.
I managed to get that working. As I said the delimiter is tab and hence I have changed the delimiter as below:
Code:
awk -F" " '/^040/..... is changed to awk -F'\t' '/^040/....
After that it is working fine. However, I got another question here.
Besides lines starting with 040, if I have to grep another line starting with say 600 and sum 18th column of that line but all the output should display in one line, do I need to perform it separately and then paste the output or is there anything that can be changed in the command above to get the required output.
Thanks
