Srinivas,

Here is an awk script I wrote some time ago for adding commas (every 3
digits) into a number. Command line format would be something like:
echo 1234567 | awk -f comma.awk

Where "comma.awk" would be the filename of the below script.



=======



#

# awk program to add commas in a number every 3 digits

#

{

# ... save off the number

num = $1 ;

# ... get length of the number entered

lng = length($1) ;



# ... determine the number of commas that needs to be added to the
number entered

commas = int(lng/3) ;



# ... determine number of remaining numbers (modulo arithmetic)

lose1 = lng % 3 ;



# ... no remaining numbers AND number needs at least ONE comma then

# ... subtract one from comma count before we start

if (( ! lose1 ) && ( commas > 0 ))

{

commas -= 1 ;

}



# ... initialize the string variable to an empty string

num = "" ;



for( x = 1 ; x <= commas ; x++ )

{

# ... add 3 to a loop counter

y += 3



# ... starting at the end of the number, strip off 3 chars at a time

get = substr($1,lng-y+1,3) ;



if ( x == 1 )

{

num = get ;

}

else

{

# ... add a comma to the string

num = get "," num ;

}

}



# ... if have less than another set of 3 numbers, then

# ... add what's left of the number to the front

rest = lng - (commas * 3 )



if ( rest > 0 )

{

# ... if number was shorter than 3 chars then print it without comma

if(lng>3)

{

get = substr($1,1,rest) ;

num = get "," num ;

}

else

{

num = substr($1,1,rest) ;

}

}

print num ;

}



Sorry, but can't help with the rest of your request, beyond my skill
set right now.



Good luck,

dan

Subject: [Geeks that Gawk] can we call awkscript from a webbrowser



Hello friends,
My name is Srinivas Chakrpani, I have so many doubts in awk scripting.
The scripting tools like perl,php,python can call from a web browser.
Just by modification the Add-Handler types in httpd.conf file (for
apache web server). Is it possible in the same way we can call any
awkscript from the webserver. If so please give the details what we
have to do to the file/ permissions to files and with a example script.

Moreover I want to format the numbers in awk that is
123456 as 1,23,456 how is it possible if possible please share me with
a example

I want access multiple files in awk is it possible?

Any scripts in awk are please send to my mail address giving below
