From my point of view, 170230224 is closer to 170230225 than to 170230024. So - where's the problem?

RudiC or XL

Can you please modify your script to be able to use it with csh instead of bash...
I want to merge it with other script I have in csh.

Many thanks

Neither script has anything to do with bash nor csh. Both are pure awk.

Dear RudiC,

When i run it using
#!/bin/bash

it works fine..

but when i put it inside of the csh script
give a error
Unmatched '


Why this error.

Because, I'd guess, a ' is missing. But, I can't help with csh.

Probably be better of avoiding having the awk program on the command line try
putting the program in a file like match_val.awk
and change your command line to awk -f match_val.awk file1 file2

match_val.awk should contain the code you have between ' and ' eg:

Code:
FNR==NR         {a[$1]=$2
                 next
                }
...
END { if(key) print ln }
