awk to add/subtract an integer to/from each entry in columns?
---------- Post updated at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous update was at 01:48 PM ----------

For some reason my question is not getting printed. Here are the details:

Greetings.

I would like to add/subtact an integer to/from two columns of integers. I feel like this should be easy using awk but can't think of how.

Example Input:
Code:
101	110
105	150
199	300
445	500

I want to add/subract 100 for each entry

Example Output:
Code:
1	210
5	250
99	400
345	600

Thanks!

Probably not the best code in the world, but I am still learning AWK:

Code:
 awk -v n=100 '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)printf(i%2?$i-n:$i+n)"\t"};{print FS}' file

Change n to the number you want to add/subtract. It will subtract for the first column, add for the second, subtract for the third, etc.
