Hi,

Silly mistake on my end! I used "," in the example file posted to show column separators but in my actual file, columns are separated by tabs... Do I need to replace "," with "\t"?
Thanks and sorry about mistake!

TAB is a default separator, so you could use:
Code:
awk '{A[$3","$4]+=$2} END{for (i in A) print A[i]","i}' infile

Provided you still want a comma as the output separator.
