Hello for special purposes I "constructed" a TAB-delimited text file - here a little excerpt with fieldnames:
mainno subno asciino(a) asciino(b) ... 000027 00 66 69 000027 00 66 69 000027 00 66 69 000035 00 154 100 000035 00 154 100 000035 00 154 114 ... For every distinct combination of mainno & subno I need a count of the occurences of asciino(a..NF) in a special range (e.g.: count only if $X between 128 and 255 and not in (196,225)) the result should look like mainno subno COUNT 000027 00 5 000035 00 19 000426 01 0 000701 03 77 ... I don't want to use a database for this! I know how to solve this problem if I had mainno & subno (eg. 000027 00) only on one line as $1 & $2 followed by the contents of all asciino-fields belonging to this combination of mainno & subno. Any ideas how to get rid of this problem? Thanks in advance oliver _______________________________________________ help-gnu-utils mailing list help-gnu-utils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-utils
