Oops yes, lint has picked up that this line:

Code:
         if( best = 9999999) deststart = cur

Is assigning to best (not comparing), I'd like to propose this solution:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/awk -f
FNR==1 {file++}
{
  day=$1
  gsub(/-/, " ", day)
  split($2, t, ".")
  gsub(/:/, " ", t[1])
  x=mktime(day " " t[1]) + t[2] / 1000
  if(file==1) srctime[FNR]=x
  else desttime[FNR]=x
  records[file, FNR]=$0
}

END {
   offset=5*60
   max=2*60
   deststart=0
   for(rec = 1; rec in srctime; rec++) {
       target = srctime[rec] + offset
       offsetmin = target - max
       offsetmax = target + max
       best = 9999999
       found = 0
       cur=deststart+1
       while(cur in desttime && desttime[cur] < offsetmax) {
           if (desttime[cur] < target && desttime[cur] > offsetmin &&
               best > target - desttime[cur]) {
                  if( best == 9999999) deststart = cur
                  best= target - desttime[cur]
                  found=cur
           }
           if (desttime[cur] >= target) {
              if(best > desttime[cur] - target) {
                  best=desttime[cur] - target
                  found=cur
               }
               break
           }
           cur++
        }

        if (found)
           print records[1, rec] " " records[2, found]
        else
           print records[1, rec] " NA NA"
    }
}

Which ensures that srctime is iterated in row number order and compares best with 9999999 instead of assigning.
