The 1 is an implied 'print'. That's the spot, right after an outer code block, where you can put an expression for when to print the line. Any expression will do. A 1 is always true, causing the line to always be printed.

Thank you,

is there a way to bypass the fact that it must end up on an even 10?

Yes, try >=.

What if one wanted to expand on this code with the file below, for example:

Input file:

Code:
Col1 Col2   Col3           Col4                            
8              14.8425      0
2	        6.59308     8.33343
1	10     1.02122     1.58249         	
1              1.88546     2.19513
1	        1.6666       5.5956
1	    	92.9737     88.2462
1               3.13779    3.28445
1               4.30055    4.86017
1               32.9386    33.9011
1                9.70837   11.4292
2               17.9509    26.1322
23	10  	0.20935    0.64897

In this case, how can I add up the values in col 3 and print the total in col5 and add the values of col4 and print in col6 if a 10 is found. So, in the example below, Col5 prints 165.58319 because the summation of the values of col3 equal that amount (from where the first 10 is written in col2 and ending in the line before the second 10 is found), and so on.


output file:


Code:
Col1 Col2   Col3           Col4          col5               col6                        
8              14.8425      0
2	        6.59308     8.33343
1	10     1.02122     1.58249    165.58319        177.22654 
1              1.88546     2.19513
1	        1.6666       5.5956
1	    	92.9737     88.2462
1               3.13779    3.28445
1               4.30055    4.86017
1               32.9386    33.9011
1                9.70837   11.4292
2               17.9509    26.1322
23	10  	0.20935    0.64897     131.101001	    104.8667889

Post in code tags instead of quote tags so we can tell what your file really looks like.

You could 'cheat' by putting two columns in one. $1=$1" " N or something like.

the code tags worked

I do not understand what you mean by the code you wrote above. I tried to add it but I it does not sum up the values found in col3 between two col 2 "10" signals
