Comment:

having problem with unix on the if else statement what I want to do is look at a "|" file with around 10000 records. If it matches a line change a field , if it doesn't move on to the next one here is what I have gawk -F "|" '{ if (($7) < 5000) $7 = "9" } elseif {($7) == 4999 - 25000 $7 = "8" } elseif {($7) == 24999 - 50000 $7 = "7"} {print $0}' OFS="|" test.txt > a what I get is only the first runs through but does not continue. I need it to look at each line if it matches overwrite it and make the change if it does not keep it the same and continue to the next search for the match-- print out all the changes and non changes into the final file Thanks
