problem with awk code

[MetStud]

Dear Users,

i have following input data. See attachment. Now i want to modify my data with this small script but something goes wrong. See line 107 of output data when you run the small script.

There should be written:

2 1 6

but instead there is

2 2 6

is there any way to fix it? I hope you understand what i am trying to do.

 input=test.b

awk '{print $2,$4,$5,$7}' ${input} > clean.txt

rm out.txt
touch out.txt
typeset -i y
typeset -i counter=0
while read x1 y1 y2 h
do
  counter=counter+1
  if [ $counter -eq 1 ]; then
    for i in `seq $y1 $y2`
    do
      y=$i 
      echo "${x1}  ${y}  ${h}" >> out.txt
    done
  elif [ $counter -gt 1 ]; then
    for i in `seq $(expr $y1 + 1) $y2`
    do
      y=$i
      echo "${x1}  ${y}  ${h}" >> out.txt
    done
  fi

done < clean.txt

Thanks a lot.

Why are you posting this in the AWK forum when your code is written in shell?

It is "2 2 6" instead of "2 1 6" because you have specifically written code to make it that way... $(expr $y1 + 1).
