Shell Programming and Scripting

Slightly different approach borrowing from rdrtx1:

Code:

awk '
NR == 1   {printf("%-25s\t%-25s\t%-10s\t%-10s\n", "Winning Numbers", "My Numbers", "#s Matched", "Result")
           for (n=split ($0, TMP); n>0; n--) MYNO[TMP[n]]
           MN = $0
           split ("win lose", RES)
           next
          }

    {for (i=1; i<=NF; i++)    c += ($i in MYNO)
     printf "%-25s\t%-25s\t%-10d\t%-10s\n", $0, MN, c, RES[1+(c < 4)]
     c = 0
    }
' my_numbers winning_numbers

For your new request, I'm not quite sure I understand it. How about rephrasing it? Not the original requestor.

The script shown in post #2 on this thread only checks for numbers as defined by PuLPi's posted lottery number generator (7 randomly picked numbers, not all 35). The script also generates the "my_numbers" file the same way (7 randomly picked numbers but can be more or less numbers). The input of the "my_numbers" can be change as needed. If the numbers are to be input manually then a prompt can be used to read the numbers (on a loop if entered one by one) or the numbers can be read from an existing file.

hi ,

Let me put it in a different way with words.

1) Assume the lottery have numbers from 1-50.
2) Out of this 50 numbers, I am going to pick up only 35 numbers randomly.
3) so, my total numbers would be 35 numbers shuffled from [1-50] nos.
[eg: 1,4,6,7,11,30,32,40,46,49]

4) I have list of winning numbers in [my_number.txt] file.
5) Now, the script should check within my 35 numbers comparing the file [my_number.txt] and should give the results .. The result number should be 6 nos.
[eg: 1 6 30 32 46 49 ]

Thanks in Advance.
