Help solving a "makes too many open files" error
Hi all! I have a problem with an AWK-script that I wrote a few years ago with a lot of help from people in this forum. It’s basically pretty simple, it is supposed to extract some columns from output obtained from analyses of simulations. After obtaining the interesting columns from the... -
AWK and multiple intputs?
Back again! Finally the script seems to be working without a glitch and my coworkers seems pleased! Thank you all for the help with this one! But, as always with efficiency, I want to be more efficient. I am also more lazy than the average person ;). So my question is this, in the modified... -
Help with search or "limiting"/"filtering" argument
I've posted regarding this script before but have not been working with it for a while. Just started again today and now I realize that I have to use a new approach to my problem. In order for this to be useful to anyone else but me I have to minimize the amount of "individual thinking" needed... -

How to calculate standard deviation with AWK?
So, I've been working a bit more on my script from a previous post in order to extract even more data without going through excel. Now I've hit another bump and I'm hoping someone with more programming skills than me might help me solve this issue. Below is the script in question... -
Can I use inputed data as variables and NR in calculations?
Hello everyone. I just started looking at awk to make some things run smoother at work. My programming skills is basic at best so I'm hoping for some compassion and patience. This is the script I've been working on: #!/usr/bin/awk -f { out1 = "hb_%_occ_" FILENAME; out2 =...
