If it doesn't work, show exactly what you are doing, word for word, letter for letter, keystroke for keystroke. Use a screenshot if you have to, but show us what you did.

And don't bother using awk, just nawk.

The $ before the 0 -- the one I highlighted in red! -- is still missing, and will break the program.
