gawk and ubuntu 2

[tini1208]

hi all,

i have a big problem with my gawk. the programm is installed, i guess, because it works, when i'm using command line gawk.
now, i want to process more than one file in the same way and therefor, i want to write a script file.

the script looks like:

#! /usr/bin/gawk -f

set infile (i don't know, how to set more than one file e.g. *txt)

set outfile (how to use the first part of the infile and using a new ending e.g. *dat)

BEGIN {printf"%10.6f\t%10.6f\t%10.3f\t%10.3f\t%10.3f\t%10.3f\n", \
$1, $2, $3, $4, $5, sqrt($5*$5)}' infile > outfile



the script is executable (sudo chmod +x script).
i'm typing only the name of the script in the command line and nothing happens...no error, nothing.
can anyboby help me??

You're mixing awk and shell syntax in the same script ...

Hope This Helps, PH.

sorry..i send the massage tooooo early.

what about this:

#BEGIN {printf"%10.6f\t%10.6f\t%10.3f\t%10.3f\t%10.3f\t%10.3f\n", \
$1, $2, $3, $4, $5, sqrt($5*$5)}#

but my problem is still....how can i process more than one file...like a batch!

where must i set the infile and outfile?
i know...these are really newbie questions (

One way (unix shell script):
awk '
FNR==1{if(out!="")close(out);out=FILENAME;sub(/txt$/,"dat",out}
{printf"%10.6f\t%10.6f\t%10.3f\t%10.3f\t%10.3f\t%10.3f\n",$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,sqrt($5*$5) > out}
' *txt

Hope This Helps, PH.

yes...thanks a lot!!!
my script looks like this:

#! /bin/csh -f
foreach i (`ls *txt`)
echo $i
set outfile = $i:r.diff

awk'{printf"%10.6f\t%10.6f\t%10.3f\t%10.3f\t%10.3f\t%10.3f\n", \
$1, $2, $3, $4, $5, sqrt($5*$5)}' $i > $outfile
end

and it works very very well!!!!!!!!
thanks!
