Hi there,
I think the reason might be that your locale is set to german and awk
expects a "," instead of a "." to denote the floating point number.
Try your script with a test file that uses 0,490384092 and see if it
works with that -> then you have confirmation.
My locale is set to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
and your script works as is.
good luck,
Martina
