awk and looping

Comment:

I have 3 files which I must awk seperately and I know I need a for loop but I'm not sure how to start it. Any ideas? Thanks!

You do not need a loop to process the records in a file (or files).  However, you might want control-break logic to do something when your input file changes.  The following code shows a single awk print statement that is processing three files: awk '{print NR, FNR, FILENAME}' file1 file2 file3 1 1 file1 2 2 file1 3 3 file1 4 4 file1 5 5 file1 6 6 file1 7 7 file1 8 8 file1 9 1 file2 10 2 file2 11 3 file2 12 4 file2 13 5 file2 14 6 file2 15 1 file3 16 2 file3 17 3 file3
