Why is output "displaying to the screen"? You are printfing the fields to the screen, not redirecting them.

yes. i am redirecting it like printf > ofn.

Results is displaying on screen and in the output file all the 56 lines merged as 1 line without the modification on 19th field.

Did i use the print statement at the right place ?
Code:
nawk '
       FNR == 1 {
              if(fc++)
              close(ofn)
              ofn = "output" fc
       }
               {CNF = (length()-10)/7
                printf "%9s", substr ($0, 1, 9)
                for (i=0; i<=CNF; i++) T[i+2] = substr ($0, 10+i*7, 7)
               TMP = 100 - (T[8] + T[9] + T[10] + T[11] + T[12] + T[13] + T[14] + T[15] + T[16] + T[17] + T[18])
       for (i=2; i<=CNF+2; i++){printf "%7s", T[i]; if(i==18) {printf "%7.3f",T[i]=TMP}}
            printf > ofn
      }
      ' input1 input2

Could you please suggest me on this?

Please show us the various print/printf statements in your code snippet (e.g. by highlighting them in red).

Hi Rudi,

Please find the below codes:
1st trail:
Code:
nawk '
       FNR == 1 {
              if(fc++)
              close(ofn)
              ofn = "test" fc
       }
               {CNF = (length()-10)/7
                printf "%9s", substr ($0, 1, 9)
                for (i=0; i<=CNF; i++) T[i+2] = substr ($0, 10+i*7, 7)
               TMP = 100 - (T[8] + T[9] + T[10] + T[11] + T[12] + T[13] + T[14] + T[15] + T[16] + T[17] + T[18])
               for (i=2; i<=CNF+2; i++){printf "%7s", T[i]; if(i==18){printf "%7.3f",T[i]=TMP}}}
              { printf > ofn }
      ' input1 input2

With the above all the 56 lines in the input1 and input2 are merged as 1 line without the modifictaion on 19th field and resulted as test1 and test2

2nd trail:
Code:
nawk '
       FNR == 1 {
              if(NR>1)
              close(ofn)
              ofn = "output" ++nf
       }
               {CNF = (length()-10)/7
                printf "%9s", substr ($0, 1, 9)
                for (i=0; i<=CNF; i++) T[i+2] = substr ($0, 10+i*7, 7)
               TMP = 100 - (T[8] + T[9] + T[10] + T[11] + T[12] + T[13] + T[14] + T[15] + T[16] + T[17] + T[18])
       for (i=2; i<=CNF+2; i++){printf "%7s", T[i]; if(i==18) {printf "%7.3f",T[i]=TMP}}}
           { print > ofn
      }
      ' input1 input2

With the above code, output1 and output2 are generated as same as the input1 and input2.

In both trails output displayed to screen. If i open the test1 from first trail its showing data and "test1" [Incomplete last line] 1 line, 15400 characters. where as the wc's are showing below.

Code:
wc test1 test2 output1 output2
       0    2080   15400 test1
       0    2055   15400 test2
      56    2135   15456 output1
      56    2110   15456 output2
     112    8380   61712 total

OK, brilliant. You show us FOUR print / printf statements of which ONE is redirected to your desired output file(s) and prints but a <NL> character, and THREE print the result's fields to the default stdout which happens to be the screen.

EDIT: How about reconsulting the other thread and compare what is presented there to your script?

Rudi , I am sorry . I really do not have any hopes that i can get through this by my own. I am not understanding where i am doing mistake in the code.

Please let me know what is the mistake.
