i am calling it like this awk -f awkscript file

in bash i can get it to work the way i want using

END{




for...



printf "%d\t%d\t%d\n",x, a[x],b[x] | "sort -t $'\t' -k3,3rn -k2,2rn"

but this does not work bourne shell on solaris.

as an experiment i did this

 printf "%d\t%d\t%d\n",x, a[x],b[x] > "testfile"

then on the shell i did this

cat testfile | sort -t "`printf '\t'`" -k3,3nr -k2,2rn

and this works fine.

My issue is not sure how to insert that back into my awk script as i get confused with all the ""'` etc

printf "%d\t%d\t%d\n",x, a[x],b[x] | "sort -t "`printf '\t'`" -k3,3nr -k2,2rn"

is error

ive tried different things but cant figure it out

cheers

what I want is to yank whole text of one file1 and paste it in file2.
this all should happen in Shell Script.

So far I have dont following script.

#!/bin/bash
#file.sh

echo -e "\n\t|------------------ File Transfer -----------------------|"

while [ "$ch" != "n" ]
do
        echo -e "\nEnter directory"
        read dir

        echo -e "\nEnter filename"
        read flnam

        if [ -d $dir ]
        then
                if [ -e $flnm ]
                then
                        vi $flnm `| "+y | esc | :x`     # ERROR
                        cd $dir                         
                        vi $flnm `| p | esc | :x`       # ERROR

                fi
        else
                echo "Directory does not exists."
        fi

        echo "Do you want to try again? (y/n)"
        read ch
done

vi commands are not working in shell script.....I know am missing right format of its use.
Any Suggestions ?

one file created on Windows and another was made on Ubuntu,

i want to use this command:

comm -12 file1 file2

how do i do that?

var=96.33% from 120

how do i get 96.33 from $var?

i have

du -sh `find ./ -user $USER -type f`

which gives

8.0K    ./.a
8.0K    ./t
4.0K    ./cat/A
4.0K    ./a

using -s has no effect.

using du -sh by itself includes the space for files not owned by me and also includes space used by folders themselves.

I want to be able to add all of the above and displayed in readable format automatically.

At this stage i am happy to include the space used for folders or not, doesnt matter.

Any tips would be appreciated.
